Truth or lies?

• Artist: Deaths Calling Card
• Description: Some times the best thing you can do is lie, rather than telling the truth, despite everything we are taught when we are younger. Some times a lie can save the person you hold dear, while the truth can send them far away, into the ground in just a single day.

Some truths were never meant to be.
Lies would be so much better
Pulling together the shattered pieces
And sewing them together.

Words hold the true power in the world
Anyone could see that clearly
Though people are stupid and say the truth
Regardless of those we hold dearly

With life comes responsibility
With death comes the end
When the balance is corrupted
Words can save and mend.

All you had to say was “I love you.”
And then she wouldn’t have died.
So what if you didn’t love her?
You could have just lied.

But now she is gone, she is dead
Buried under dirt forever
Alone, lost in the world without a friend
With her heart still severed

All you had to do was hug her
Tell her she was never alone
But you didn’t.
And now she is just bones.

Why didn’t you just tell her?
Why did you let her die?
Why didn’t you love her?
Why didn’t you lie?

Oh, no no no. Not my meaning at all. I am not saying protect everyone with lying, I know that never works, but this is supposed to be just some prose about how some people wish they had lied to keep something or someone safe, whether it be themselves or someone else.

Don't lie. Don't protect yourself in that kind of way. If you care about someone tell them the truth about yourself and how you are wrong.
