She never believed him

..As he lied to her and swore on
…the Holy Bible
the Tax Return
the Blood of Jesus
the Tears of Mary
the Law of Attraction -

The sky did not change its color
Or even dropped a tear,
The trees stood not moving,
The stars – paralyzed…

His lies were just skipping
        Her sleep-deprived mind
               Like stones and dropping
                Into the river
                This was rich and heavy like
                Fake Chinese silk or Saudi oil –
                Immediately lost under surface of truth…

She married a banker, a trivial banker.
Or maybe a teacher, a piano teacher,
Or maybe a doctor – well, never a doctor –
It all does not matter – she married not him.

…And he did not know that lies are the shelter
For those who never looked up at the sky...
She never believed him.
