White Lies
Lies lies lies
you can't see it
in my eyes because
I am the master of
disguise.
They say playing
these masquerades hurt people.
You think I like keeping these
things from you?
I love people.
but to me disappointing them
is worse than the hurt
if they knew the truth.
Sometimes I need white lies
because I know the pain that
would ensue if the truth
were to be bestowed upon
some people.
