Truth of The Matter


Do you think it doesn't hurt
to believe that I know
the truth of the matter?
To feel in my heart
that her words her
thoughts, her actions
are not true, and she
won't confess to the mess,
so I keep living in a lie,
hoping her words, her thoughts,
her actions are all true.

kind of a hard pill to swallow you know?
sardonic with a twist of lemon
lies dont breathe well

Tough and touching.  Of life's great games.  Well stated.  Your feelings were well conveyed my friend.

I hope that is not a personal life one James.

Going for the vein on this one.

Many of us have a hard time accepting the bare harsh truth. However, it's even harder when love is involved.
Good writing James!

I have uttered the same words to myself, before finally coming to the realization that you have to love yourself and God, more than you love another to see the truth of actions and matters of the heart. Nice piece.
