_Lies_

We all lie.

Things we don't think are

Lies at the time.

Things to protect people.

Lies that spare

Their feelings.

You think lying is bad.

Is it really?

Preventing people from getting hurt,

And keeping private things

Private. Like they should be.

Lies.

Are they really so bad?

I promise I'll stay.

I love you.

I was joking.

I'm fine.
