Truth Is
How can it be
You and I alone in a room yet it just feels like it's me
We came this far to continue to grieve
For I lost him and he lost me
We couldn't see
What it is that we all wanted to be
Following his dreams
While unstitching mine at the seams
Please
Try to understand that I'm not a foolish woman
Given many a heartbreak I take the time to grow
Evidently the experience is taking time to show
It's true colors
One of impulse and much realization
That maybe it's our choices led us down these places
I never thought that I'd be the mother to your kin
And though I love who you are it just feels like a sin
A sin because quite naturally it's not what I expected
And in loving what I know I want I guard my heart with much protection
Only because you've let me know just how damaging you can be
And the truth of the matter is I refuse to let you see
See me in a fashion where I'm hurt and confused
Or regretting my life choices to accept solemn rules
Engraved accordingly because I wanted to love you right
But I'm not sure if I should love you with all my might
Cause see, at any given time you can choose to walk out
Leaving uncertainty in my mind that confuses me with doubt
And unfortunately it's real and can manifest the mind
With that thought I will take it and look for other ways to find
Find a means to survive without you invading my life
Cutting every realm you tie to me and its all out of spite
See my hurt is much more deeper than you thought that it would go
I can be just a memory if I decide how far I'll go
You won't understand my theory and you'll take it with no peace
I'm a danger to my cognitive if I don't have a release
What I'm saying is to understand you must identify the fruit
I'm a fragile heart inside myself and the ugly part lies in the truth
