Beautiful Lies

Tell me beautiful lies

Grace me with a bow and leave flower petals in my wake

Let us play at reading minds

Why not weave a story with gold?

And wave it above our heads for all to see

As if we are proud of what we have made

Tell me of shallow sorrow

Of tears shed in petty regret

But keep the curtains closed

Let us, for now, act out a play of happiness

Of ever-afters and magic

But forget to put in a villain

And we will part ways with a smile

Because until we meet again, eyes will only shine with tears

And I will be too busy wailing to remember to laugh

Tell me beautiful lies, like "it will be okay."
