"Lies and Echoes"

"Lies and Echoes"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

There is something wrong

Even I cannot feel it

That small tear in the fabric

the one that holds you and me

II

I can sense it

the faint smell of blood

And all those lies

that we make in the name of love

III

We look at each other

And it passes right through

No longer seeing the person

but someone we once knew

IV

And we hear the echoes

softly traveling in the air

We see but cannot see

what used to be there.

V

We cannot remember

when the last ember died

Only now discerning

Why we could have lied.
