Just Be Honest

You lie with a straight face and expect me to believe.

Shame on you for thinking I’m that naïve.

You promise me one thing, then you do another.

You don’t even remember one lie from the other.

Just be honest, is that so hard for you to do?

Constantly lying is much tougher than easily telling the truth.

Just be honest, by doing so, you may experience a most pleasant surprise.

Simple honesty conjures up more true love and affection, than a sea of lies.
