Time's Up

Time's Up

A Poem by truthtell


From Wallsend, right? Yet, now living in Connecticut. 

Obtained a marriage-visa for acclaimed love, plus loving the girls  

What’s your truth? You don’t even know, too many lies have been told

D. Raymond G your time is up. 


You thought you had it all because you did. 

You thought you had the wisdom, charisma, smarts, to cover up that web of lies

The deceit, also known as the clouded deception of the true you. 

You’ve made it your life’s work to infiltrate a family, to fulfill a sick accomplishment:

of course, that’s what you’d call it. 

But, you’ve been weak, you’ve been careless with your actions. 

You think you’ve been safe and protected, for what is it? 8 years.

Don’t be fooled, evidence exists. 

Eggshells, you say? They should forever exist. 

Never relax. 

You’ve been too indulgent. 

The truth is seeping out. 

Be afraid.

The restlessness will take over you and suffocate you 

It will overcome you, when you least expect it:

smoking, 

alcoholism,

You’ve tried it all, right? 

You’ve thought you covered it up, right? 

Everything has a trace. 


Your children? 

What children?

A father plants a foundation; you never even created one.

3 boys, 2 girls: who’ll remember you when you’re gone? 

Your lewd behavior.

Baser than baseness

Forgotten forever, with no legacy

No remembrance whatsoever


Hurt them all in different ways, you are not a father

Heck, you’re not even a man. 

Who’s next? 

Is it you sweetheart? SS

Convince, Chastise, Belittle, Berate, and Break 

Evidence

Evidence 

Evidence 

You cannot,

You will not hide forever 


Truth seeps out, slowly, carefully, purposefully. 


You know what you’ve done. 

You know what you did to me. 

Blacked out? That’s only the cover story

The truth? It’s what you desired: “you needed it” 

Evidence speaks again.


Sexual abuse is pervasive

Sexual abuse is never forgotten 

Sexual abuse is victimization 

You know this, but think you’re above it. 

but this is your truth and 

My truth is speaking out about your truth. 


Carefully does it now. 

Zip that mouth right up, the same way you thought you did mine. 

It’s not a warning, it’s a command. 

Because, 

we thought we knew you and your capabilities as a dad, 

but, you forgot to realize others have capabilities too.

Lest it be known, again: 

Evidence

Evidence 

Evidence
