It's not fair and at times overwhelming
that every truth gives birth to pain
It's destructive and like acidic rain
it burns away at our minds
until there's nothing left but shame.
But without the ways of truth
honesty would just be another word for lie.
It's difficult and at times maddening
that every soul opened to love
risks the pain of heartbreak
But it's through love
that the truth of the heart is heard
That tormented plea to rid the lonely darkness
entrapping the soul
and find freedom in what little time
life gives to us all.
To feel love is just your soul longing to be with another
Forever or however long that other will allow
It's insane
We don't want to speak of what we feel
We don't speak to others of what we want
So we open our hearts to only ourselves
Until we find that one other soul that matches our own
I found that other soul one night
The sky was darkening just after twilight
I know I'm alive
Whenever I'm near him
I know I'm in love whenever I touch him
Everything within me screams to hold him
But alas he's not real but a dream world I live in
I waken once again to the unfairness of reality
To stay in the dream would be less overwhelming
Then to remain in a world where truth brings pain.
Sometimes the truth hurts more than the lie...

I understand 100% what you're feeling. Except I haven't learned the truth yet, so I'm stuck on a fence. My best advice to you, don't EVER completely like someone, because if things don't work out, you don't want to fall hard. I'm on my way to falling hard off that fence..
