Truth Is Beating

Folder: 
2007

How can I ever trust you

When everything I say

In spite of all my good intentions

Will somehow be conveyed

In a way that I’ll regret ever stating

My true feelings for her



I remember how it worked

Once that bond was broken

The only thing that escaped was hurt

And, the pain of forfeiting it

Neither one of us deserved

The consequences of reliving it



Taking stock of what we had

Well, it’s hard not thinking back

And, recall the way that you would laugh

When I would get embarrassed

Around your friends, as I confessed

How much I truly loved you



And, thinking deeper into it

I wasn’t in the position to suspect

Any reason to bet against

The words I thought you meant

Or, the warmth that your hand left

The moment mine became empty



Decisions make you think of

The decisions that got you where you are

And, whether or not they spilled or filled the cup

That eventually become the scar

That somehow calloused your heart

Towards the emotions it once beat for



And, in all the aforementioned

I almost forgot the caliber of the situation

And, the reason I began writing at all

Was because my mind became convicted

To find the source of my heart’s infection

And, somehow release you from the clot



And, once again it's come to my attention

That of the aforementioned

I love you afterall

And, finally truth is beating

And, finally truth has come
