Signed, Reality

A Note to Us from Reality

By Jeanette LaterPublished 8 years ago • 1 min read

If I told you, would you run?

Would you walk the other way?

Would you shrink from all my secrets?

Or rather choose to stay?

If I told you, would you laugh?

Would you believe me?

Would you try?

Or would you rather stay hidden from my dark and twisted lies?

If I told you, I wouldn’t blame you

For forgetting I was ever there.

What I carry is indeed a burden

That’s rarely seen as fit to bear.

But still I hope, that if I told you,

You wouldn’t flee or fear,

Yet I’ll understand if you decide

That it’s the truth you don’t want to hear.

But If I told you, I’d walk away,

And leave you with no omission.

And you’d be left a better man,

If only you would listen.
