Lied . . .

You know they always tell you
To pick the right, not wrong
And that if you are angry,
To sing a quiet song

Well, what if right and right
Are the choices you must choose
And whichever way you pick
You feel that you will lose . . .

And when quiet songs come easy
You can live amid the strife
But a sorry saintly trade
For what used to be a life

It’s impossible to win
In this game we all strike out
Killing every blood chance
With more unhealthy doubt

I’m sorry I have hurt you all
I never truly tried
It’s killing me to be this way
I almost wish I’d lied . . .


and in the daylight i miss the nightmare- but deathly fear it in the dark of night

Subtly hurts, so does honesty...but it is better to hurt for the truth than hurt for a lie.
Again wonderful and I know how you feel.

very very impressed.
i can relate to it.
truth is always best although it may seem more painful the pain of a lie is worse and lasts far longer.

great write.

BUt are you not all just wondering what I wish I had lied about? I love someone else,  but i also love him fractionally, so i couldn't lie but he gets such a big head thinking he can still win me. it just hurts to give him hope that will never amount to more than pain.
