Good Intentions

His Intentions were Good.
He saw a problem in the making,
He tried to avoid it.

He made it worse.
His concept of our reaction was way off.
So he lied.
Walked away,
forgot to say,
just where he was going.

We started to wonder
Where did he go?
We called him
"I'm just on a walk" he said
I thought that was weird.
"It's not weird" he said.
"do you want me to come back?" he said

"Yes of course, but tell me,
Why did you leave? Without a word?"
Silence.
He had hung up.
He came back.
Everything was normal.

But we saw through his lie
Always do
He thinks he has to hide
stay taboo

But he's wrong.
He's making it worse.
He looks like an ass,
though his intentions were good.
