    The Lie
    He called me on the phone
    I was shocked and surprised
    Though I hesitated
    In the past he spit only lies
    He ask me to forgive him
    I could tell he was crying
    He told me inside his heart
    He felt like he was dying
    He went on to talk about
    The things he did to me
    How he cheated and lied
    How much he saw me bleed
    I told him that I forgive him
    It was years ago
    That I was ok now
    It's time to let me go
    He thanked me for giving him my time
    I told him I hope I gave him back his piece of mind
    When I hung up the telephone
    I just sat down and cried
    Because for the first time in twenty years
    he didn't tell me a lie

    This poem will bring a person back to reality. The hurt he harbored and the hurt he caused all released in one phone call. I wonder what it was that brought him back to reality to make the call? Beautiful poem, thanks for sharing.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
