Lie

I will
just lie
to myself
for at times
this lie
is easier
to take
than
the truth

I would agree with you lady. This was charming and honest, as usual

If you can tell me something worth fighting for

I try so very hard to not lie to others... but I have been known to spare myself the truth. *S* Excellent work! *S*

Yes, Helen, sometimes the truth to

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
