Here is a poem I wrote when I experienced my first heartbreak, and I was finally given some clarity when the truth revealed itself. I am astonished at my writing; pain brings out my true emotions. I promise that not a single word is a lie when you read “The Truth.”
“The Truth”
So now I finally know the truth
Had to figure it out on my own
Had to put the pieces of the puzzle together
Now the sky is clear and the puzzle is complete
After three months of pain and suffering
I finally know the truth
And I feel no more pain for you
Who would have thought what would hurt the most would be the cure?
Before I was dizzy, and confused, and so unsure
You gave me confidence then made me insecure
I lost all my enthusiasm and love for everything
I don’t think anyone could love me like I loved you
So now I finally know the truth
Had to figure it out on my own
Had to match up the parts
To patch up my heart
Now the sky is clear and the columns are aligned
Your lies of hope and promise
Buried me in a pile of lies and confusion
I was suffocating under your grasp
Thinking we had a future that would last
But you just chose your past
I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders
The truth hurts, but helps me get over…
A man who looked in my eyes and lied so easily
A man who brought me from my highest to my worst
And those lies, they hurt
But now I finally know the truth
Had to figure it out on my own
Had to order everything in my mind
Now the sky is clear and my mind is organized
After you broke my heart and lied to me
I finally know the truth
I can finally let you go
I can finally heal my wounds
And I feel no more pain for you
And now all the stars are aligned
Because I know the reason why
You changed your mind
In the blink of an eye
So now I finally know the truth
Had to figure it out on my own
Had to fix the damage of a storm with the sea
Now the sky is clear, the ocean has parted, and the tides are crashing over me
I now understand all of the signs
How I wondered why you left me, why?
Now I know the truth
For why you crumbled my heart all the way through
(When my heart broke) I had so much heart break, I didn’t know what to do
And it squeezes every time I think of you
And though I still love you
I can love still
I will find another love, I will
And there’s no hope for me and you
Because you and I both know you weren’t true
You left me for her
She wasn’t worth it, for what it’s worth
You looked in my eyes and lied so easily
You brought me from my highest to my worst
And those lies, they hurt
The truth will hurt, but it will help you get over…
Someone who looked in your eyes and lied so easily
Someone who brought you from your highest to your lowest
You can move on from the hurt
Now I have finally been set free
Now that everything makes sense to me
Now that I know the truth
I know the truth hurts, but you lied to me…
And it was the lies that hurt me worst
Be true to yourself and others. You may think that lying will ease the heartbreak, but nothing is more liberating than hearing the truth.
