* I do NOT condone lying for any reason other than safety or kindness. *
You ...
Like a book ...
Did that tongue not just bid me farewell?
Yet now it melts, sweet, in my mouth ...
Did your palm not just strike my cheek in indignation?
Still, now it works frantic to ready me ...
Did those eyes not just weep in bitter disregard?
But now, they roll back in ecstasy ...
It was only an instant from adieu to delirium ...
The proper application of three small words ...
And one wonderfully wicked ...
White ...
Lie.
