Caught In A Lie

I don’t know have an excuse
I ran out of them
A long time ago
There is no reason
Why
I acted the way
I did
If there is it’s become
Camouflaged
In my ego

I

Lied

Because it was the easy
To do
Didn’t think it would
Hurt anyone
It wasn’t my intention to

But

I

Did

Didn’t think
One small lie
Could cause so much
Harm
And now that it’s all in
The open
I guess I was
Quite alarmed
At the reactions of
My friends
Who took a
Self-righteous stance
All because they haven’t
Yet been caught
In the grips of a lie’s
Arms!

But yes,
I digress
It was not them

But

Me

Who

Lied

And all I want
To do
Is to run away
And hide

No longer able to look
You straight
In the eyes
And for this
I do
Apologise
Cos trust doesn’t

Live

Here

Anymore

I’ve now learnt
Its doesn’t matter
What others do
Just because they
Say it’s alright
Doesn’t mean
I can get away with
It
Too!
Being gullible is
Not a pretty dress
To fit
Into
But as I said
Earlier
There is really
No
Excuse

I lied

The problem is with
Me
And not with
You!
