The Painful Truth

 

You speak the stories I’ve never heard,

I’m still dwelling on every word,

Your first assumed virgin kiss,

Is doused in drunkenness you couldn’t resist,

 

I really must say, I don’t know how,

You did what you did, revealed to me now,

And how you could keep it from me for so long,

It can’t be justified, you were so wrong,

 

I keep replaying it in my head,

Why must I dwell on what I dread?

And all the past that pains me so,

With all these ghosts, I can not grow,

 

I want to forgive you but it is so hard,

For you opened up and let down your guard,

You let out your tears and dignity lost,

After you drank your share and forgot the cost,

 

My heart is swelling now for you,

It’s slowing for what I know is true,

What you’ve done, I’ll eventually forget,

But as for now I’m stuck in regret.

Reviews

[The realest]

Great rhyme scheme and flow. The picture painted was detailed and portrayed clearly along with the emotion.
and i think the references to drinking gives the poem a little hidden edge great read

[Rambling Prose]

Another poignant write, penned by a wonderful poet. Some of the greatest pieces ever written were produce in ignite by the fiery flames of regret & have risen from the ashes.

Nicely done...
