Day 423: The Truth Is…

---

∴

the truth is…

hard to say,
harder to know
and not say,
and harder still,
not to know.

 

the truth is…

the only thing
that doesn’t get stuck in your mouth
when you finally spit it out.

 

the truth is…

heavier when held.

 

the truth is…

the clear-seer,
the liberator,
the course-setter.

 

the truth is…

rarely kind,
but always works
in our best interest.

 

the truth is…

the greatest stumbling block
that is impossible
to move without.

 

the truth is…

the only thing
that could save us,
my love,
now,
when all things are uncertain.
let us not keep behind curtains,
the cruel and unconditional friend
that would let us be whole again.
