you have done evil – v2

you have done evil
to loved ones;
you have spoken lies
to pierce their hearts

you have mocked them
hurling scripture;
you have spoken lies
within the gate

I will remember
your choice to do evil;
I will not turn my back
to suffer again

I will remember
what you have done to them;
your choice to hurt
your own flesh and blood.

what lies do I tell them – v2

what lies do I tell them
by errors, omissions
in purposeful lies
what lies have become comfortable
deluding myself
what lies do I tell them
out of habit, practice
what truth have I forgotten
that is needed for wholeness
so they can heal

what lies do I tell myself
to paper over the past
the pain I yet carry
not dropping at last
what lies do I tell myself
in secret, in private
denying the truth
when the truth is painful
never coming to a place
where I can be healed

no from my lips

no from my lips
when that was not truthful
hiding facts, truths,
that were unspeakable
shattering the perfect
only shards remaining
forgetting the truth that
was needed for completeness

I find it hard to trust people

I find it hard to trust people
because you betrayed me
the whole shattered
pieces on the ground
some pieces missing
never to be put together
an ache remaining
a reminder of your betrayal
never to be healed.

I once trusted you

I once trusted you
now my trust is broken
ripping apart the union
the harmony of the circle
I once trusted you
before you betrayed me
your leaving wounds
that never heal.

peeling away layers

convenient lies
but scar tissue
the truth buried
not hurting feelings
peeling away layers
to get to the truth
reaching down to it
to reach the truth
growing in honesty
in the truth let out
