Truth

by

Richard Betts Jr.

You came here with your eyes half open,
You simply refused to focus and see.
You came here with your heart half broken,
And you wouldn't allow yourself to be free.

You said, "I used to believe
In the nakedness of truth.
Now I find all and everything
We do is subject to proof."

You say you find a screaming silence
Where the truth used to be.
And in the void filled by violence,
You don't know what to believe.

You were left standing, staring
In silent and distant desperation.
Looking for a savior to rescue
Your soul and offer you salvation.

But you have to seek
Before you can find,
And you have to know the truth
Before you know the lie.

I used to believe in
The innocence of youth,
But innocence quickly dies,
And the truth becomes a lonely child.

Why don't you look at Love
