simply...

By Lylani

Entwine emotions in a clever turn of phrase
Tie the truth in knots
so you can't see what it was
Spin the fleece of my despair
Into a fine strand of beauty

But the truth is...
you simply didn't call
And
I
Am
Simply lost

    I think spikedwithLUST got closest to what i intended though all interpretation is valid, just thinking you can write such beautiful poetry about sad things and sometimes all the beauty eclipses the heart of what made you sad... if that makes sense

    i think it was just her beautiful way of saying make all the excuses you want-say it as nicely as you want-but you still didnt call. if im right, i like this bc it was an everyday moment escalated with beauty. and if im wrong, i still love it bc reading it was an extraordinary moment that escalated my day with beauty. write on...

    I think she is saying he lost the truth intentionally. Sort of casting things in a favorable light for himself.
