*To Tell the Truth

Do I tell him or do I not?

The truth will pull him apart

But lying will hurt me more later

To hide it would be easier

Than to face the ramifications

Of what I have dome

But with the truth

I’ll lose so much

Not only “us” but your friendship

Without you I am nothing

Without you how could I go on

I need you now more than ever

You’ve been so good to me

Why do you stay by me

Through all that I do

Your steps never falter

Even though my words tear through you

I cannot tell you yet

For I would lose too much

Please forgive me

But I can’t hurt you again
