No Reward For Honesty

I told the truth and lied to myself 
Both at the same time 
I'd love you forever
Through sickness and health 
And still you won't be mine

What am I to do
I expose my bloody past 
Attempting to be trusted
Pulled from the salvage 
Placed at your feet 
Broken down and rusted 

I lied cause I showed you 
And broke a promise to myself 
Hoping for acceptance 
But now I sit alone 
In the dark with all my past
Begging for forgiveness

Sad that one has a past that they feel that they can't share with that special person..But in sharing it puts the choice on the other person if they can accept you for who you are with good and bad baggage...Enjoyed reading your work...Sara
