To Lie Like Her

I wished that I could lie the way that she did I wish my deceit could easily be hid, If only that I could do, what she easily can I guess by her accounts, I would be one happy man. I wished about other people's feelings I didn't care If at their problems I would laugh as I would stare, I wished that I could only think and always put myself first And if only in everyone else I saw the worst. I wished that I could lie as easily as she did I wish over my emotions I could place an iron lid, If only I could lie and cheat with no emotions to show Then I wonder if her type of peace would I finally know. If different women I could hold and occasionally be with It would then become my truest fact and not a myth, And then to each woman I could easily tell an untruth Then they wouldn't know me as being a liar and uncouth. I wished that I could lie as truthfully as she had Then always smiling and happy and not depressed or sad. If I too could have people believing me with just a smile While them not knowing of my darkened soul or guile. If I could go to church and ignor all of Jesus's teachings And falling upon deafened ears would be the preacher's preachings, I wish like her I didn't believe in truth and love I truly wish that I could lie like she easily and always does.
