Words of Art – Day 125 – Alibis and Lies

Alibis and Lies

Her deceit came ever so
Slowly into focus.
Her touch came less often,
And when it did it felt
Like a lie.
More nights away at ‘work’.
The faint aroma of
Soap and cologne when she
Walked through the door.
Slowly he collected
The alibis and lies.
He catalogued them.
He filed them.
He wept over them.
The alibis and lies
Came slowly into focus
Till he finally
Said goodbye.
