Honesty

You can ask her anything,
just be sure you can handle the answer.
For she is not the one to play petty games
or be your verbal dancer.
Short and sweet, straight through to the heart.
This isn't a stage and she won't play the part
you assign to everyone you know.
Her love is strong, though so is her blow
and don't think for a minute
that she would not turn it toward you.
She can be your lover or your friend,
but above all she must be true.
Never shall she lash out
with forethought of malice,
nor shall she have lied.
So before asking your question, carefully decide
if the truth is what your truly after.
Then behold the thunder and share in the laughter
evoked only when honesty does prevail.
