About the Truth

If I told you about the truth
Would it be about the truth?
Or would it be
About what you want
The truth to be?
Would you even believe me?
If I believed that the truth
Might set me free?
If you could understand
The way I need you
To understand?
I wish it were less shocking
I wish I had more to say
Words to make you stay
All I can do is watch
Wordlessly
As you walk away
But at least you know
The truth
