Truth I Seek

By dalphon

   There is something we must discuss,
Something on the topic of trust.

 I know your words are lies,
You tell me so,
With nervous eyes. 

Why do you maintain these fantasies?

I fathomed the truth,
By a process learned in my youth.

 I see the gaps in your story,
hear the tremble in your voice.
The bits you leave out,
the ideas you repeat,
are clues...

Leading me to the Truth I Seek.

    I must apologize if my commenting on your work seems trite! Your words are from your soul therefore I feel it is a wonderful piece. The emotion is thick as you read, making the reader feel the writers intentions. Very well penned.

    ...there is misery in the process of extracting truth. in the end, we hope it will heal us...

    the truth would hurt less if freely given. but to know the truth and still have to wrestle it out of someone....
