Honesty...

By: Bernadene Dionicio Arches

I have finally come to the point,
Of understanding what is unfathomable.
The way you stare shatters me,
And as you begin to speak,
You drown me in grave silence.
I become frightened, ravaged by fear,
Beacause of the truth unearthened by you.
The truth which I refused to face,
The truth which can cause me pain.
But you can wear away this confusion,
And help me see,
What is needed to be seen,
And help me hear,
What is needed to be heard.
Pain....it shall not scorch all of me,
If you will walk away and flee.
And I, stung by what is true.
