The Truth

JV

What do you want?

What do you need?

Do you want to be happy...

With me?

 

Was it true?

Did you want this to work?

Do you still?

Do you want it to be possible?

 

I get excited just to hold your hand.

Stuck on love like it’s crazy glue.

Did you want to chase the sun and watch it set?

Cause I do.

 

I can give you the time of your life.

Do you want it?

Do you want to continue making memories?

Do you want what you’ve told me?

 

Or were those statements only that of comfort?

Were they lied?

To accommodate my feelings?

To keep me from emotional harm?

 

Were the pictures and the statuses a ruse?

A facade?

A beautiful lie from a beautiful soul

For a broken one?

 

Is there hope?

Do you have hope?

Do you wish to continue?

To fix us?

 

Do you really love me?

Cause I haven’t felt it for a while.

Do you really want to be happy with me?

Cause you leaving doesn’t show that.

 

I want to be your answer

Just how you’re mine.

To be without you I’d probably fade to blue.

Another poem.  Look what you made me do.

 

Drinking on liquor till I throw up.

Russian cream backwoods. Roll up.

I can’t wait till we live how we wanna.

Or at least how you told me you wanted to.

 

To tell our kids the story about how we fell in love.

Overcame.

Fought through.

Worked to being happy together.

 

I need clarity.

The truth.

No clues no confusion.

What you truly wanted.

 

To know if it was true.

To know if I was really what you wanted.

What you want.

The truth.
