Just be.
Ssh!
Here I come!
Quick act normal!
Thinking I didn’t hear.
So I act normal too.
Act like I didn’t hear those words.
Are they lies to them?
Or lies to me?
Because what you said,
Isn’t what you told me.
Oh.
Lies.
Rumors.
Secrets.
.
.
.
Lies.
Thinking the truth won’t come out.
But as the old saying goes.
Only two can keep a secret if one of them is dead.
But what if it’s an entire group of people?
Or more than one group?
How many would have to be dead,
For you to keep what you really thought about me,
A secret.
You seemed so sincere though.
When you told me that I was a nice person.
A beautiful person.
So genuine.
You should be an actress.
I asked you what you honestly thought of me.
You acted like that’s what you actually thought of me.
Lies.
Secrets.
Whispered.
But why couldn’t you be honest?
Just honest.
Isn’t that what I asked?
To just be honest.
Those were my words.
Apparently lying is easier for you.
