My Truths

My truths, your truths and lies  
            Mind games, gaslighting, fooling, deceiving, tricking, and misleading  
The power of words connects, it can be so deceiving  
So many shades of grey for a little white lie 
                        The veil on her green eyes  
Subtly hides the pain so deep of her husband truths  
Revealing an anguish from within that was not part of  
                        “I do” on the day they took their solemn vows  
      The bottle in the trembling hand in truth  
            Is the mysterious secret mistress - sadly  
                        To the diseased mind the truth is at the bottom  
Making believe is her truth as she smiles and laughs  
            Her truths, his truths, a tie.
