"The Dance of Truth and Lies"

Yeah, that was a bad relationship LOL.

"The Dance of Truth and Lies"
by Joe Leo


How many masks can you wear at once
before your face begins to erode
and the image in the mirror
is as blank as the look you give me
when I speak of truth.

How many times can we dance, eyes closed,
around the black hole at the center
of the black galaxy of lies
that only I can see in your eyes
when you speak of "truth"

How many years can we possibly
stay blind and deaf to our true natures
covering our mirrors with sheets
as you avoid my questioning stares
that beg you for truth.
