The truth stood downcast in the lie I trusted your words don't know why, Your intensions were hard to find I wish I could have read your mind. You broke my heart left me to sigh The truth stood downcast in the lie, When truth is lost, trust is lost too Why couldn't I stop believing you. I believed promises you made With passing time they all did fade, The truth stood downcast in the lie With wings of falsehood you did fly. Your love was not true but false myth Innocent eyes did hide the truth, Still can't imagine last goodbye The truth stood downcast in the lie. August 9, 2016.
