Lies of Omission

You have a good thing going. You’re happy.

Life is good, but then he says something that leaves you...wondering.

You don’t ask about it.  You don’t want to rock the boat.

He never knows you doubt his feelings.

He disappears without a word, and you tell yourself you are a fool.

When he shows again you tell him you cannot see him again.

You didn’t know you broke his heart.

He didn’t know he broke yours.

You didn’t ask.  You didn’t want to know the truth.

You couldn’t bear to think about it.

That’s a lie.

When you pretend to be happy and you’re not.

The truth does not just matter when you speak.

The truth must be spoken.
