You told no lies, no,
But the truths you told
Were they truths at all?
Or just a sweet, sugary coat
For the beast inside

I told no lies, no,
The me, you hold dear
And my humanity
Walk side by side
With the monster you fear

You were smiles and cheers
As you hid your secrets
Your Expressions, all lies!
For you can be the demon or the angel
The two can’t co-exist within

Would you prefer it
If I succumbed to
The unpredictability of
Raw emotions?
Do you let everyone know
Of your beating heart?
Of your darkest parts?
Do you always show
Those ugly things you feel
Those buried parts that feel unreal?
Don’t be a hypocrite!
We all hide things
And we only judge those
Who are caught in lies
When in fact,
We’re all the same, the same,

“Honesty is the best policy”
Said a great man once,
But you were honest, weren’t you?
It was only your omission
That led to this gaping void in my heart

I’ll ask you this once, no more
Have you never lied in your life?
