Deceiver
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
I have not lied.
About anything I did to do.
My ups and downs.
And mistakes to make,
Have been admitted.
Truth and I have come to a truce.
Without a pretentiousness to fake it.
What about you?
'That truce between you and truth,
Is as solid as ice melting away...
In the month of May.
Existing to sit dripping temporarily.'
'Coming out of the mouth of one,
Who repeatedly to permanently deceive!'
