A lie...
Why does it weigh so heavily on me?
A harmless lie, that doesn't alter the outcome--
Why does it feel traitorous?
When I smile to reinforce this undamaging falsehood
It's because it's a lie to a parent,
So, no longer harmless.
The heartbreak lingers as I try to make amends,
Am I trap in this relentless cycle of guilt?
