Why Did He Lie To You?

because you cannot accept the
ugliness of his form

because you are unable to swim
to the beauty of his thought

because he is deeper than
the ocean where the blue whale lives

because he loves you much more
than the night loving the moon

because what you do not know
may hurt you at the end

you must understand now
that on this situation he must make lies

to make love survive
to make his world a habitable place to move on
