To Tell the Truth

Today you lied to me. I knew your words weren't true. But I never said a thing, To let you know I knew. You'd told the story once before, But now the tale has changed. But I will not call your bluff. I don't want to cause you shame. You stole from me today, Though I will not make a fuss. Though I love you as my friend, You took from me my trust. Truth's like a bird with silver wings. Wisely listen for it's call. If you cannot speak the truth. Say nothing else at all.
