i was born into lies

And deceit,

You knew this!

So why

Did you think

i would not know

Where I was

When you took

                                                Me back there?

Not altogether sure I get this one, eddie

is it saying that a loved one, knowing your history, practiced lies and deceit? It’s not quite clear, not that it has to be but perhaps you were so close to it you didn’t consider your reader’s perspective?
Or perhaps I am just thick.
cheers,
Jess

I love the way you put so much power into such tiny poems! Wonderful work! kaz x
