The thing is-
I can't stand liars,
that take advantage of the trust
and love
that we have given to them-
free of charge!
and throws it out
like it means nothing
and watches as we continue to smile,
though forced now,
and through gritted teeth
we tell you how much we love and appreciate you.

So please,
just tell the truth.
Even if you just "don't want us to worry,"
because really,
the thoughts that swirl our mind
are worse than
any truth that you could bring.
