my brilliant lies
“I love you.”
“I feel very guilty about what happened.”
“I’ve never done this before.”
“It was my idea.”
“It wasn’t my idea.”
“Your secret is safe with me.”
“That looks really great on you.”
“I didn’t eat any of those cookies.”
“We’re just friends.”
“Of course I came! Couldn’t you tell?”
“I’m okay.”
“I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.”
“You’re not stupid.”
“He didn’t watch any TV at all today.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Please. I have no idea what that even means.”
“I don’t know.”
“I don’t really remember.”
“I believe you”
I was about two or three deep when I thought:
“Every day white lies that hopefully will get you out of the current pain.Just to linger around and sit at the bottom of your ilk, like heavy stones at the bottom of a bag being flung into the sea.”
Simon..that was beautiful……….
