Truth

Precipice

Honesty is overrated they say

Some truths you hide and don't relay

But someday all will be revealed anyway

Why not now? Why delay?

Feelings you used to have

All you have lost, all those you love

Confessing them is a salve

Secrets cause hearts to halve

Confusion ensues each time you cower

Deceit and lies don't give them power

Your eyes, your smile, your voice, you falter

A pause, a sigh, you blow your cover

On the edge of a precipice you jump off

Hoping the half-truths on your back are enough

To break your fall? That'll be tough!

The ground is unforgiving, rough

So tell the truth, don't glaze it over

Don't pretend all's never been better

It may hurt, cause things to flutter

Let it be heard now, not never
