The Innocent

 

 

Lies and secrets

Secrets and lies

Told in youth

with no thought to the lives

 

That will be rocked

to the core

by the utter shock

not to mention sheer horror

 

Of the depth of this betrayal

behind the truth that

is this lie told in the youth

this secret to hide

that I despise

 

For bound am I

to keep this lie…

 

To protect the innocent

born of this lie

whom I love upon high.

  1. They call them justifiable lies…those white lies, innocent lies and this case protecting the innocent. Sometimes they are told, many times they should be untold and most time we live with the secret and pain….I’m all over this, direct and glaring.
