The Things We Know, But Do Not Say
Written June 12, 2002
Why is it that people feel the need to lie?
They pull others in and trap them behind walls.
Silence is requested, and we are required to stand-by,
as those we love are hurt and our trust falls.
To reveal or not is hard, though revealing sometimes complicates.
What is love with secrets, or trust built on untruth?
To some it drives uncertainties into wonderings of mistakes,
to some it matters not, because love will make it through.
The woman I love does not know if she still returns it.
I revealed those secrets and the only regret I have is I waited.
To hear her voice sends my heart racing a mile a minute.
Truth can kill sometimes, but love is the only thing I've not debated.
I have nothing to take to my grave with me that is untold.
My only wish is that I was faster in telling of news a month old.
