Your pointed question pokes at my chest,
Pawing for an answer that will bend your lips.

I could check my head for a lie that's sure to please you
And hope that guilt doesn't get me in the end,
Since all you really want is my agreement.

I know I'd get away, but how far could I run
Before your eyes showed up in my head again?
And how long could I live, knowing I made you smile
With a twisted truth so easily forged?

"At least I'd make you happy"... I tell myself.
Because as long as you stay unaware of this,
Nothing I say can ever hurt you.

So it's very important that you never find out,
For as soon as you question me, all these lies start to burn.

This is about lying to someone you care about to keep the happy, safe, and unaware or anything that could hurt them

I really love the concept you write about. It's a pretty tough one to grasp and nail down clearly, but I think you managed to with this. Also, while reading this, I began to wonder if lying to protect people is the right thing to do, especially with those you care for. It's a pretty tough question O.o Thank you for sharing <3 :meow:

I'm glad you liked this, thanks :) And you're right- it is a tough question, but for me personally, I wouldn't lie to save someone. This was just an interesting thought I came across recently...

I'm still unsure if I would lie or not... I guess I'll never know until it comes down to the moment...
