The truth can sting,
So I’ve been told
To bear your soul
Is to be bold

But more ill a feeling
Comes from not knowing
So do you prefer
The pain of showing?

A decision tough,
Though one must chose
Either way, to some,
You lose.

The pain of defeat
Or the pain of confusion
Makes you wonder
If it’s all an illusion

The difference, that is
Between the truth and a lie
How does one know
In who to confide?

So wonder, now,
Which do you prefer?
A pain that itches
Or a pain that hurts?

And ask, as you fade
Of the one you hold dear,
Were they the one
Who You should have feared?

Be wary, for
The truth can sting
But it’s better than
Not knowing.
