Honesty

NatshaneContemplative

I wish I could understand The lies you said The pain you hid The bitter truth you spit But what if I told you That every word you said Is a dagger through our hearts A wound that could not be stitched? I wished to be your best friend, But sometimes I feel like a stranger looking in. Will you have the faith To confide in us one day? I promise we'll ignore your flaws, If you'll kindly ignore ours. Everybody lies, It's the only truth sometimes.
