Anyone can talk, for talk is cheap
Unlike the secrets that I keep
Each secret spawns a lie
Tangled in his web I cry
It came down to truth or revenge
And I chose revenge
I told a false truth to save someone
I lied to myself to hide what I’d done
It came down to you or me
And I chose myself
And my false truth

I had to make a creative piece based on a book for my summer homework, and I decided to make a poem. If you're interested what book it was, message me.
