Truth Unwraps (+1)

My life has been folded over

 at least a hundred times

 

With twilight comes exposure

 and a reckoning sublime

 

Each crease a thing I’d never done

  each fold a place I’d hide

 

Now one by one the truth unwraps

 —my secrets open wide

On Bended Knee

 

Liking what things are supposed to be

 instead of what they are

 

I spend my life in wondered lust

 not near, yet so afar

 

Wishing the truth not what it was

 but what it was meant to be

 

I spend my nights in wish filled dreams

 —my faith on bended knee
