Inspired by Reena’s Xploration Challenge #290 &
Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Noncommital
one lie does not erase a thousand truths
the memories of joy we’d created
the pasts we thought we’d heal in unison
the children we’ve raised together
the future we hoped to embody as one
allowing that lie in
letting it multiply
showed me something insidious
being noncommittal broke our foundation of trust
that one lie changed us forever
I Write Her 
One lie will do it!!!
