To Err Is Human
If you love
why would you lie
why would you cheat
why would you betray
why would you go astray
Is it for love
that you lie
To you preserve the life that is
To retain calm
To maintain peace
To overcome
the guilt
the feel
the passion
the love
To bring back
the family
the friend
the memories
the togetherness
But to maintain this calm
You have to lie
You have to compromise
You have to live with guilt
You have to let go your true love
You have to swallow the bitter pill
Forever remain
Afraid that you could be caught
Afraid that you could be abandoned
Afraid that you could be looked down upon
Afraid that you could never be trusted by anyone
Afraid that you could have to let go of everything
Be honest
You will retain your honesty
You will retain your dignity
You will retain your love
You will retain your sleep
You will retain your relation
You will retain your feelings
You will retain your kids
As Alexander Pope said "To err is Human..."
