The girl was cursed with swarms of flies

The girl was cursed with swarms of flies,
that hovered around the breath of her mouth,
whenever her lips spoke words of lies.

It happened suddenly, to her surprise,
on a family trip through the South.
The girl was cursed with swarms of flies,

that zig-zagged around before her eyes,
and accrued when her darkened breath came out,
whenever her lips spoke words of lies.

She'd promised an honest way to her guys,
with fingers crossed and lips that pout.
The girl was cursed with swarms of flies,

now none of her lies she could disguise.
They hovered around like dogs to a spout,
whenever her lips spoke words of lies.

Not sure which one, but one of her guys,
got tired of eating her words as if grout.
The girl was cursed with swarms of flies,
whenever her lips spoke words of lies.
