Truth

Is not the noise that I wanted to shut out
Is not the little things I wanted to erase
Is not how it lacked 
Is was never the inability of things
Nor the idea of impossibilities

Is not the walk arounds
Nor the sittings
Nor the tiny faces made 
Nor the hidden emotions
Nor the never appointments made

It was a decision of the heart
Maybe a little lack of belief
It was the fear of commitment 
Maybe the inclusiveness of loved ones
It was a step on the wrong path

The traditional language of sorrys
Was never invented in your honour 
Nor any other emotionally involving language
The hurts of the past has blinded the true eyes of love
Hence the let go prematurely

It is now to walk in regret 
And fear of changing the history
Today is a chance
Tomorrow is goodbye
