Like bad novels
some people’s stories
are half truth but mostly fiction,
names changed
to protect the guilty.
Secrets hidden
behind lies,
deceit
and pretense.
Wasted stories
with no ending at all,
just more lies
to bury the past
deeper into
their fictitious present.
Do I care,
does it matter.
How does truth
embedded in lies survive.
I don’t know.
