[bodytext] => White Lie August 20, 2004 Whoever told you they were okay, As long you used them with care, Didn’t know the extremes a white lie could go to, And cause all of my despair. A white lie seems so gentle, Just a blanket thrown over what’s true, For me to step right over, Never suspecting a thing of you. But webs of lies spun from white, Can get into my way. So soon I see that small mistake, And wonder about the display. And looking deeper, finding more, White lies spread across the floor. Now in a trance of disbelief, I search to find what I can see is only a mistake, And then I’ll find relief. But nothing here shows signs of stopping, Only more I cannot place. I don’t remember being there, I can’t remember that face. The harder I tug on that fragile thread, The truth unravels and brings the dread. How could a white lie build up to this, Leaving me empty in this abyss, Wondering how all of this time, All of these white lies came to exist.
