The truth stood downcast in the lie My eyes tried to whisper But my tongue was tied Because he loved my sister He asked me to introduce them The truth stood downcast in the lie He was my heartbeat and my friend My heart ached, I was about to die Their love grew and blossomed Two souls prancing in bliss The truth stood downcast in the lie Twinge in my eye, I tried to dismiss They took their wedding vows today He was handsome in tux and tie Wished them a world of happiness The truth stood downcast in the lie Written:08/11/2016 Contest: 'The truth stood downcast in the lie' by John Lawless
