The Truth

The truth is pouring out of your lips
And the truth is that
I would rather be dead
Than hear the words you just said

The truth is splintering into my heart
Seeping into my brain
Trickling through every vein
Until I'm frozen in a twisted numbness
And it's all I can do to not fall apart

The words
They keep flowing from your mouth
But I don't acknowledge them
For black spots are threatening my vision
And clouding my stormy mind

The truth is out
It hangs in the air
Like a layer of sludge
Trapping me with the weight
Of my heartache

My eyes cry tears I didn't know were left
My heart not bothering
to gather the scattered pieces

Remnants of me lie on the floor
Pieces that were once whole
But no longer, no more
Pieces of me broken and shattered
Insanity sets in
So I no longer know what's the matter
