The Truth Hurts

Author Dana Redricks

Sometimes the truth hurts 
The pain of reality knowing that 
the person you thought loved you 
really don't and they don't won't 
to be around you anymore 
You swallow down your tears so
they won't see you cry 
The pain deep down in your heart 
hurts so bad 
You grasp yourself trying to hold 
it together 
Even though you're together it
seems as though you're apart 
Short romance, short dance 
You can't help but remember 
that first glance but now it
seems it's over and the love 
you thought you had has
became a part of your past

Glory is fleeting. Make the most of today. Tomorrow may not be as kind. Have a great day.
