Truth...Is?
My heart is heavy
With words unspoken
Because the thought
Of actually allowing those words
That you let pass from your lips
Pass from my lips
Hurts too much
Dreams not only deferred
But also shattered
In the blink of an eye
When truth – yours
Was spoken
No, it wasn’t pretty
Wasn’t neat
Damn sure wasn’t tidy
Like one would hope it could
Or would be
But truth
Yours
Is one
I can’t see clearly
Now
And doubt that I ever will
Because truth
Yours
Doesn’t mesh with the truth
That is
Mine
And how I see it
And I can’t fathom
For the life of me
How drastically
Different
This Truth
Both yours and mine
Are
But yet
The truth
Yours and mine
Is there
For us
That’s you and me
To contemplate
To consume
To regurgitate
That truth
Yours and mine
Is there
Yet we can’t bear
To swallow
To digest
Those truths
Yes, yours
And mine
And still
My heart is heavy
With words unspoken
With the thoughts
Of those words
That you let pass
From my lips
And again
The thought
Of actually allowing
Those words
That you let pass from your lips
Pass from my lips
Hurts too much
So I won’t
I’ll just take
My hurt
And keep it to myself
