The Truth

*I know this wasn't a wise choice.

But I had to do something,

And release the truth from my voice.

No matter what trouble it would bring.

 

Night after night, I dreamed.

Trouble, confusion, lust.

Each one was harder than it seemed.

But I had to do what I must.

 

A spark was ignited first,

And I know not how or why.

Ridiculous, I thought with a curse.

Yet, the truth came slick as a lie.

 

I did not want to face this.

My ties were already bound.

But even I saw what was amiss.

That was when he shook the ground.

 

Hiding myself away, as did before,

I couldn't just let go.

Consequently my emotions craved more.

A plan in mind that I didn't know.

 

When I told you, I thought myself foolish.

He doesn't see the same as you.

But our plans, it was a game I had wished.

However, you thought the same too.

 

I do not know your mind.

But I know that now it cannot be made.

Your words I believe true, even if hard to find.

I still expect that promise you told me, to be paid.*
