My Black Lie, by Jeffery Grover Subscribe to rss feed for Jeffery Grover

It starts in the heart
so tiny so small
it's not much to start
it's not much at all
but soon it will grow 
to beyond all its length
to beyond all the love 
to beyond all the hate
it will grow and devour
it will make people bleed
it will make lovers liars
and suddenly it's seen
such a small thing 
so strong to devour
a life of anyone
that's all it desires
all that was light 
will turn dark
and all that was
will still remain
as i fall 
and as we fade
my black lie
is all that remains
