lies.

ha!

it has been four long years.

did that seem like a lie as well?

was i lacking?

was that why i cannot
seem to get close to them,
unlike lady arlene?

because i am not as carefree,
as gentle, and as pure as her?

but is there something
i can actually do about it?

there is none.

i could only hurt.

i could only lie.

it hurts to lie.
