Truth

Lies in the cracks of the sidewalk

Like a flock of geese forming a “v” over the lake

And when he says that is almost all he needs

I see the light in his eyes almost fade

Like an abused sunset

And I can relate because she only wants to be seen

When he swings her around the room watches

And the clock on the wall loses all its patience

Because it knows the truth

And the tiles on the floor soak up their energia

Like a person that thinks he or she can speak a different language

Without cracking the case

Of what to follow

And each syllable she says

Clashes with the next

But he just listens

And the ache in his heart

Only comes out in the night time

When I trust him not to lie

And when I sit down to write about them

It makes me wonder if they weren’t meant for each other

And I get jealous

Because he can’t see the lie in her facial expression

But I can

And you would be able to, also,

If you knew the truth
