Be Real

Be real to me.
 Give me truth not fiction or your made up reality. 
Let this foundation be built on a rock.
 As time pass and sand washes away,
 I'll know that your love is here to stay.
 Fake isn't my plan.
 I'm all grown up now and need a real man
 Not pointless words that leak out as you breathe,
 but something that will nourish and sustain me.
 Let your actions speak all that you are.
 Your character in a whole,
 not a little boy acting out stories that he's been told.
Man up to the things you say you want in life 
Be real to me honesty doesn't cut like a knife
Don't dance me around with words just to put a smile on my face 
I'm a big girl I can take the real any day
Mean every word that you say!!!!!!!!!!!
Just be real!

I'm impressed!!! Actually haven't read anything like this yet! I find myself preaching that to other guys at times...Its simply honesty..what goes on in the dark shall come into the light..since no one is perfect..I would say 98% of the time instead of keeping it 100. All women want a guy to be real..if not then move around.....enjoyed..INK-U-SCRIPT

Your poem is wonderful and should be a primer for people on relationships.
