Literary Lies


She won't talk, she won't rant,
She won't fight, you have to understand.
She's a woman of words, queen of the quil
the ink on her parchment speaks strongly of her will
none of her words will mean what you think
they herald a message, disguised and hidden under the ink
She laces her words with beauty and charm
when underneath them lies her ugliness and qualms
She'll tell you a story of lovers devoted
and beneath it will lie a broken tale
one, if you knew, would sound sad and stale
her fingers have grown accustomed to vent out in verse
her honest emotions lay hidden behind her well- decorated words
Her heart has become so habituated to this method so strange
that now she can't express truly, her feelings will never be explained
they hide behind that thick red wall, that hits hard against her ribs
peeking out now and then, disguised by her beautiful fibs
as she writes her newest rhyme today, she can't help but wonder
whether she'll ever let them hear her heart's own scary thunder
whether she will, in any of her works, reveal 
the truest reason for her love for happy endings, this silly zeal.
This obsession with lacing her words, to many, seem quite absurd
but it's her only way, to properly convey,
the things her heart has never heard.
