Honesty vs Lie

The prompt is HONESTY

I’ve lived long enough

Settled pref’rence–truth, or lie:

Honesty–no doubt

It can slice deep to marrow

With heart-stopping agony

Temporarily…

~

Lie is different animal

Stealthy, stalking, fanged

Venom malicious drips slow

Through veins…till heart sickens, dies

~

There’s no coming back

From named “misunderstanding”

Pretense that salts wound–

Relationship’s done, over

Trust crippled, cancerous doom

~

Honesty serves well

In words’ kindest eloquence

Sincere intention–

Insures the bruising is light

Offers best recovery
