WILL YOU BELIEVE ME?

Will you believe me if I tell you my truth

though I’m not able to prove what I say?
Will you deceive me when I listen to you,
assuming that what you tell me is true
because I want to believe you, anyway?
Would you desire to know what I lied
if all lies I told, made you feel good
and are you afraid that I find what you hide
fearing that I'd dislike your real truths,
changing the way I think about you?
Some of our lies touched the basics of life
and some have been used to beautify facts
Some people lie when they’re ashamed or shy
and some because their intentions are bad
Did you lie to me? Tell me why and when!
But if you say you didn’t, I’ll still be content.
