Sweet Little Lies

Nothing more than sweet little lies

By Colleen Millsteed Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies

The heart can be easily broken

Wishes and dreams can lie so much,

Feelings can be misconstrued

From that one innocent touch.

***

This is why I fell in love with you

Why I also believed that you cared,

But sweet little lies, our memories

Of what I thought we both shared.

***

When I felt my heart overflowing

And thought our love so strong,

I cannot explain the pain I felt

In my heart to find I was wrong.

***

Of course, I was once more a fool

But who now should wear the blame,

I really thought I found true love

And I believed you felt the same.

***

But no, it was your sweet little lies

Played out to see what I would do,

And me, a naive little child

Experimenting with something new.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
