The Truth Hurts Worse Than Anything He Could do to You

I watch you sitting

Out on your porch.

You wrap your arms around your legs

And rock yourself back and forth.

 

Burying your face

Deep into your arms

You feel as though

This is the only place you’ll find calm.

 

I walk towards the porch

And you look up at me.

The tears falling from your eyes

Blurs everything you see.

 

I sit down beside you

And put an arm around your waist.

You turn to look at me,

And I watch the tears roll down your face.

 

“He left me,” you say

Through your tears.

“I thought he loved me”

You scream, blocking your ears.

 

Tears well up in my eyes

As I listen to you cry.

I wish I could tell you

That it’s only this one guy.

 

But I know better

Than to lie about this.

I know you’ll always remember

The feeling of his kiss.

 

You’ll always look back

And wonder why.

Then you’ll realise

That ‘Love” is just a lie.

 

Every man will play

Games with your heart;

Don’t fall for it;

Don’t let it tear you apart.

 

No matter what I try to say

To help you through,

The truth hurts worse than anything

He can ever do to you.
