Promise The Same Lies

" A half truth is the most cowardly of lies"- Anonymous

They all compose the same melody
Write the same lyrics
Sing the same songs
Make the same noise
Then promise the same lies

They all draft the same words
Spell check the same lines
Create the same stories
Inscribe the same books
Then promise the same lies

They all impersonate the same role
Have parts in the same scene
Perform on the same stage
Star on the same screen
And still promise the same lies

They all whisper the same sounds
Mimic the same acts
Use the same scents
Have the same feel
And promise the same lies

They all shed the same tears
Hold back the same sniffle
Eyes the same red blood
Faces the same blank look
And still promise the same lies

They all force the same smile
Clone the same laugh
Exaggerate the same hug
Fake the same love
Then promise the same lies

They promise its forever
They promise this is it
They promise you the world
Then just leave you to it
