Tell Me The Truth

There are words you say
When they are not true
Break a heart and a soul
Like………..I LOVE YOU

I’d rather hear the silence
and the way I rain at night
than to know it’s all so empty
and tomorrow has no sight
what is the point of promise
just a phrase you say to break
strips the skin from the bones
a bare heart is what you take
you alone carry the key
to unlock a wingless dream
don’t tell me words I want to hear
say the words you really mean
I’d rather hurt today in truth
finding your tomorrows were all a lie
strings connected heart to heart
should not have to question why
I think you feel no guilt
in this pain that I feel
being part of the biggest lie
and never knowing what is real
I now drown in all my flaws
crashing in the sea's salty touch
grasping at my love’s not near enough
but in truth… could it be too much

ohh I felt this, outstanding and painful write.
But might I add, its not worth it to hurt for someone who won't hurt for you.

Always, Alyssa

Helen, it's a terible thing to not be told the truth.
Even if the truth may hurt for a while, it's better to hear.
Even though this is very sad, it is a beautiful poem.
Thank you for sharing...

You always write with such depths and underlying passion.
This one is no exception.

Helen, this is such a touching and painful write. You wrote it beautifully. I can relate to how you feel, very much. But hun, please don't keep drowning in your faults. Because, believe me, he does have some faults of his own. And, no, they never seem to feel guilty for what they put us through. Sneding hugs your way.

(The truth is not too much to ask, is it?)

What a beautiful poem! There is power in your simple honesty.
