Hello or Goodbye.
Smile to Deceive.
Heart to Breathe.
Truth in a Lie.
Cold Tear in the Eye.
Wish to Please.
Control or Release.
Stand up or Surrender.
It is now or Never.
Accept or Deny.
Let it live or slowly Die.
Give up or Try.
Hello or Goodbye.
Tobani .

Most clever Tobani weaving old cliches into a new poetic fabric and in rhyme no less quite a task. Well admired and a fave
Thank you, very much appreciated
The French writer Alfred de Musset said : “"Il faut qu'une porte soit ouverte ou fermée" That is, a door must be closed or opened.
“Smile to deceive” :
“A smile is the chosen vehicle of all ambiguities.” ----Herman Melville (1819-1891)
By smiling we put the other guy off his guard.
“Truth in a lie” : hiding the lie in the truth. Again, taking the other by surprise, or guile.
