Truth
I suppose I should thank you
You took all I had to offer
And you gave.
Oh you gave.
But you did not give
What I wanted.
You played with me.
You showed me the door
And then slammed it
Before I could touch the handle.
I gave you a rose
In return
I got thorns.
But still I will thank you.
You removed the veil
I see now it was
And illusion
I was living a lie
It was safe.
Warm.
And now I'm cold.
But still I will thank you
You allowed me to see
What I was hiding.
To realise the truth.
Truth is pain.
But at least
Pain is real.
