So you smile with crossed fingers and harsh words,
praying I wont hear the sound of crossfire in your confessions--
I always knew systematic shutdown when it blinked at me with baby blues,
lies are so cheap when they come from you.

Short, yes, sweet, no. But it does pack a punch, quite impressive.
Thanks a lot for entering and good luck.

Short....yes. Sweet...no, in the sense that it is never sweet having to listen to or endure someone elses lies.
The more personal the lie, the bigger the hurt. This piece is perfect length, it doesn't need to be any longer to get the idea across.
Good write.
