Truth

Tell the truth
Don't you see?
Tell the truth
Are you really that sick?
Tell the truth
Or are you just that cruel?
Tell the truth
Don't you comprehend
The hell I've gone through
The pain you've caused?
The wounded that was already there
The one you just reopened?
Tell the truth
Do you want me hurt?
Do you want me sad ?
Tell the truth
Do you need me to hate you?
To see me cry?
To watch me die?
Tell the truth
Tell it to my face
Tell it to me
Look me in the eye
Tell the truth  
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth.
Or will you continue to lie?
