Truth Be Told
Truth be told I will continue listening to you
To your words and sentences and each "logical" view
I submit my time, my sanity and sometimes my opinion
To make sure you come back and talk to me again
When days are dark, they say, friends are few
But what about the friends that do not hold true
The ones that come watching the car you drive
Or the name on the shoes that your son has
I recall a time when nothing like this mattered
When friends I had because of my childish natters
When my humour was regarded as an astute tool
And my laughter was part of a daily rule
Now I say truth be told I hold any smile to heart
For my days of purity and true friendship has departed
