Truth Over Lies

All my life I've been told lies,

Deceit like shadows, hiding in disguise.

From whispers in the dark, I hear your name,

But truth or deception, it’s all just the same.

I glance at you, every word feels like a test,

I crave the realness, I just want the best.

Inconsistencies twist my soul inside,

Each sweet little promise feels like a lie.

Will you be different? Echo through my mind,

I seek a heart that won't be unkind.

I love you so dearly, don't break this trust,

A fragile connection, it's built on what's just.

I can't take liars, I've had enough,

Honesty, my shelter when the times get tough.

Will you be the one to break this chain?

Or will you fold into the patterns of pain?

Hate the game, played over and over again,

Scratching my wounds that refuse to mend.

I open my heart, will you call it home?

Or will it shatter and leave me alone?

If you’re genuine, let it spill from your lips,

I promise to hold it, to cherish, to grip.

No more veils, no more hidden signs,

I need your light, your truth intertwines.

I can't take liars, I've had enough,

Honesty, my shelter when the times get tough.

Will you be the one to break this chain?

Or will you fold into the patterns of pain?

So please don’t lie, just be the real you,

Love me as I am, with a heart that is true.

It hurts my feelings, you don’t have a clue,

Without your honesty, I can’t love you.

So here I am, stripped down and bare,

Will you take the chance, or do you really care?

I love you, but it’s the truth I seek,

Please be different, say it clear, don’t speak weak.
