POEM STARTER

Write a poem about a lie that spirals out of control.

Consider the structures and devices you could use to show the repetition and amplification of the lie.

Well how did we get here?

Well how did we here? Sobbing while you yell at me Never give me a chance to explain it I'm too out of breath anyways Well I just wanted love I told you I was seeing Eliza And then I told you it was Rose Maybe if you let me reasonably free I wouldn't find it so easy to lie straight through my teeth Maybe if I wasn't a fan of the thrill and feign freeness I wouldn't find it so easy to lie straight through my teeth Then I wanted more He said "I am only yours" But I wanted more So I told him I wasn't seeing Charlotte Who even is Ivy? Maybe if I wasn't so desirable I wouldn't have to lie through my teeth Maybe if I wasn't a fan of loving people I wouln't have to lie through my teeth Oh, I'm so greedy I just take all I can And now I'm in my mother's car sobbing She says she doesn't even know who I am You only know the one guy But I'm your little monster Flowers wilt when I walk by My throat hurts from screaming back
