White Lies; A harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone's feelings. They aren't bad. Right?

White lies..

Are like heroin.

You only inject a little,

Maybe because you're scared.

But the burn in your veins

The rush.

Makes you want to do more..and more..

.. You get addicted.

You never notice your own addiction.

Never noticing how bad it's gotten

The other day I told you,

'Mr. Jones wants to see you.'

I just wanted you out of my hair.

But you, like my white lies,

Were a drug.

I kept coming back for more.
