Cain XXX - true lies

another lie
delivered splat in the face
with unblinking eyes and innocent gazes.

another lie
though we both know we lie.
we choose to believe it anyway.

we lie
not to be cruel
but to be merciful.
we lie
because to tell the truth
would be to kill.

life's harsh reality - we cannot face.
so we lie and lie that reality away.
with eloquent words, we build up again,
another Truth
just with a different face.
