shades of gray

between our blacks and whites
are a dozen shades of gray
beneath our "truths"
are carefully concealed lies
for what or for whom exactly
i can only wonder...
i've lied, been lied to
to spare myself and yourself
from pain
hoping
fervently hoping
maybe even hopelessly
that shades of gray
will work for us...
half-truths
white lies
are they,
will they
ever be
justified?
