I am accepting an unwanted truth But the truth, though the better When compared next to kin Such so notorious as deception Or one infamous cousin Known by and called upon Across throat and lips and tongue Whispered and known as Lies Branch out from one shared limb Of the tree of life, we are in Ripening, trying to hold on Growing too heavy For such is our position Too far out, at the very ends The day that closes in To fall off, wrapped in uncaring wind The ground will welcome Cold and hard to a rotten end Some carried off to be tasted And taken in, for the goodness they will give The rest then witness the ruin Of the form they have become As sweet turns bitter Decay seeps in, spreads itself within as this truth has done to me it seems To ever be the one, She loves, says she needs, Puts effort towards keeping In the life we once believed we wanted Truth is it was simply, completely My own, alone My dream, my own self deception My acquaintance with her sister Lies That sold myself my own denial Made me choose the view to fit The dream i never get And now i see things the way they are Truth can be a difficult one Abrasive and brutal, Unflinchingly effective At lessons when forced to be taught But Truth will never leave Emptiness such as the pit my Lies wrought
Work in progress. Lesson I'm learning within. Or trying to by any means.
