Paper-Thin Lies

Her piercing eyes burn through paper-thin lies, igniting fear as flames erupt inside. And reluctantly, she breaks down and cries, trying to salvage what's left of her pride. She believed you both had found your soulmate, and thus, never thought either heart would stray. And she struggles with bouts of love and hate, as she watches her dreams slipping away. There's no such thing as an innocent flirt; it's the first crack in a relationship. And the lies that accompany it hurt, causing the scales of happiness to tip. Jealousy is an emotional dance that stomps out flickering flames of romance.
