[Pyromancer]

Lies

You lied to cover up a wrong,
but lies evolve and multiply
as each is told to firm the last,
with constant need to justify.

You lied in fear of consequence,
and lost your feel for wrong or right,
you wove a curtain of deceit
and pulled it closed against the light.

You lied to save me from distress,
but then the rotted fabric tore.
You lied to soothe and comfort me,
but in the end, you hurt me more.
