Pseudologia Fantastica

By xZombie Poptartzx

             
                      If distance was 
                   measured with lies,
                          you'd be
                        miles away.


                      Across oceans 
                          you'd stay,
                            diligent.


                     Saving my heart 
                           from your
                               tide...

    I agree with caitlinryen, no more words are needed for this...if distance was determined by the lies one told, we would all live a little happier...I like this, nice point made, great post! -NN
