truth forever ...

the face of truth wears no mask
one look into its eyes reveals all
mirrored reflections blur to compare
truth is always there in the end-game

manipulated truth fangs with ripe venom
the sting deepens with time's wilting
suckle upon the open wound and spew
out comes the healing truth once more

run fast as wind's heated breath
still no escape from a lie's swift catch
black widow web snares another meal
the truth comes back to feast again

holding on to the black cape of deceit
a blackened heart festers with stench
how deep and dark the hurt must go
truth will lighten the load's weight

a love lost to another's gentle hold
live the dark lies never to be told
keep alive in the back of your mind
truth lives forever, always to find
