Snow White Liar
by June Nash
.
smooth talking man greets lovely lady
she doesn’t care that he seems shady
.
like sweets on tongue, she eats up his lies
he praises her wit, beauty and eyes
.
they may be truths, but how does one know
when they’re piled high in drifts like snow
.
starved for attention, desperate for love
into the snow she drops her white glove
.
it’s outline she sees, though very dim
like truth in the lies spoken by him
.
his weak excuses, flakes upon flakes
deep down she knows they’re all lies he makes
.
with all snow white lies, there comes a day
when truth shows through, lies melt away
.
from warm sweet spun words ice only felt
watching with sadness, her snowman melt
