The guilt
The guilt
The guilt consumes the soul
When one does not mean
What one actually says.
It is the guilt
Of telling white lies
It is guilt when you want
To provide a false cover
Of hope
It is absolute guilt
When you actually lie
Then perhaps white lies
Are a part of tact
I never was really ever
Good at.
Lets be frank and depart
When guilt makes
Our minds depart
When we cannot
Make amends
Let the guilty not mar the show
Let the guilt down Thames flow,
Let it blast and let it go
Let all your emotions
Truthfully and honestly flow.
