Nothing Left

You left the question open ended,
Yet the answer you knew.
What little price you had to pay,
And you couldn’t follow through.
Confused and abandoned,
Your eyes give you away.
Before they were so clear,
Covered now by clouds of doubt.
It all started with a question,
You knew the answer to.
But it ended in a shout,
And it’s all because of truth.
