Truth

by Irene Gray (14)

Those arms of yours
Holding me tight
That voice of yours
Saying everything will be all right
But will it?
As to that
I think
You haven't a clue
And that will make
a broken heart multiplied by 2
No pretty lies
No big facades
Just tell me the truth is lost
among the rubble and uncouth
Tell me
Everything
Is not okay
