Jay Loveless Poet Free verse

Truth Eating At Me

Restless sleep
Tossing and turning
To think about the words
You spilled without thought
Anger burning the truth onto your tongue 
To tell me what you think
That it was just my pride
I doomed my own fate
Made the choice that got me beat every day 
Do you think I asked for it
Because I continued to stay
Tell me again 
You think no less of me
But now the truth hangs
Between you and me 
And we toss and turn 
Unable to sleep
Guilt eating at you
Truth eating at me

Justin Bordner April 2, 2013 at 1:58 PM If truth is not your companion then One makes It their anger - seems like a tough episode Jay, your sense of hope gives you the ability to endure, and victory with the situation relies on you believing not in others, but in yourself - you got this girl - J.A.B. %
