Omission

When you tell me your doing something, and don't Is that a lie? I feel deceived, in not what you did But in what you failed to own. Feeling hurt, I wonder why Was that the truth, Is that a lie? Deserving more than in my youth. Are you unthoughtful, can that be? I've been here waiting Were you here, is that a lie? Are you my friend, or are we dating? Understanding escapes me now Your hiding something I feel Thinking you wanted me, is that a lie? Promises you never broke, or was that the deal. A loving person, I think you are But you never used that word Saying things about marriage, is that a lie? Listening to you, I feel absurd I have two things to give to you My heart and my time Did you waste both of them, or is that a lie? You didn't ask for either of them, what did you find? I ignored a few small signs Thought nothing of them Is your deception real, is it a lie? Omission is no small sin.
