The Truth Of Me

The answers to the questions
Are they what you want to hear?
Or is it actually the questions
Are they what you really fear?
You ask me to tell the truth
But I’ve told you I don’t lie
And I’ve said it oh so often
That I just think I might die

You tell me of your answers
But the questions aren’t right
These answers are your answers
They seek out only your night
You want the truth do you?
So listen to what I do say
I’ve said the truth yet again
You don’t believe me anyway

How many times can I cry?
Still I hear the need of more
Over and often words call
Until my heart shuts her door
Truth is truth it’s not a lie
I am me and I’m always true
No more asking me for truth
If anyone lies it’s not me it’s you
Marsha



Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
Robert Browning

Too many times the questions are designed for the asker to receive only the expected answers. To such, honesty is always a surprise.

Words of charged emotion. Well said

Marsha~
I thought for a moment this was Beverley ... perhaps ???

'You want the truth do you?
So listen to what I do say
I’ve said the truth yet again
You don’t believe me anyway",?i>

My grandmother told me -
'You only need say the truth ONCE ...
and it shall stand beyond all refute.'

Sven dear heart even I have weeks when all is not as wonderful as it should be. This was some of the less enlightening parts from the past.
Thank you love those who know me also know I don't lie, it's never worth it. But sometimes the truth is not the answer they want. (How deep is that?)
Hopefully now I've said I've stated that I am not walking that road again, I won't be asked to.
Thank you always for your support
Take care as always love

Take care as always

AT thank you to, I do appreciate it
Take care

Margie girl, this was definitely a Beverley poem, some really painful stuff this week, but fingers crossed it has now gone. Well, you know what I am, there's always a silver lining, and the silver lining is, that this has had it's line drawn firmly under it.
Thank you love as always
and the other advantage is, I get to use Bev de Bump.
love ya dear heart
                   take care

And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fire
