Flash Poetry: Always/Never

If there are two words
That lie more than any other,
It’s “always” and “never.”
Nothing is always.
Few things are never.
I will always love you.
I will never hurt you.
I will always help you.
I will never leave you.
Our kindest sentiments
Make liars of us all,
Our good intentions
spilling blood.
