Tales of Torment: Signs Don't Lie

these tales of torment are a tell-tell sign, of exactly what they tell-

some whisper, and some yell, but these are not stories to sell,

some are soft speakers and others cry out

there are dark truths, that exist in these tales of torment,

some hide in the artwork, hoping viewers don't find out

these tales of torment are not for sale,

books not to be judged by their covers

my eyes might lie, but the signs won't,

my smile might lie, but what i write in these lines don't

my voice might hide, but my diaries won't,

my heart might hide, but the books in my library don't

a collection like no other,

and free to read,

but not so easy to hear

these tales of torment bring truthful color to white lies

some sit in silence, and some scream to be read aloud

some are muffled speech and some are loud cries, but these are not stories to sell,

these tales of torment are tell-tell signs, of exactly what they tell
