Truth, by Grace Krieps

Truth

The confusion kills me,

I don’t know what to do,

I could run and hide,

or I could face the truth,

The truth could hurt,

not just me but you,

and him too,

I’m sorry,

I realize it’s going to hurt,

the pain will burn, like fire

on an open wound,

But I need this,

I need the truth to be spoken,

I need to scream it out to the world,

I Love You but it hurts,

I’m sorry but this needs to end

(2014)

Why did you do it? You hurt me the most, But no one even noticed. Why did you lead me on. Lead me on to think you were good?…

Silently flying, All sorts of colors, Crunchy and smooth, Light and dark, You fall and fly,

Emptiness, Dullness, Plainness, So many words to describe it, none friendly,
