Little Lies Love Loathing Lovely Lives

Do not be at a liberty
To leave little lies lying and leaping about
Lock them up in a large lead box
Lest they light a fire in your lovely life because

Little lies love to loathe lovely lives
Little lies long to link to each other and
Form a large lump or a long line
Of lethal missile
To launch an onslaught of loneliness
Upon loving hearts and
Tear them apart
Like only little lies can do

Little lies lay low
Only for a little while
They get hungry pretty quickly
Limitlessly and
Demand to consume larger and larger
Chunks of your lively life

Once uttered, apologise
Let them not levitate
In front of your eyes
When they’re little they’re brittle
That’s when the damage done can be limited
Lose not the sight of
The long-term lugubriousness
That will not be lulled with a lullaby

Let this be a lesson for life
Never let your luscious lips
Lose their lustre to little lies because
Little lies love to loathe lovely lives
