"TRUTH"

by Ashley Herndon,Scorpio - Not entered

And when it appears
will I be scared
will I be afraid
after all the time
I've spent in the dark

For a long time
I have wanted it
cried, prayed, and pleaded
that one day it would come
but for all those nights being awake
only to see darkness and yearning for light

Out of the dark; lightning strikes
followed by slow, repeated knocking
upon the door
the fierce, frightning
hammering got louder
with every knock

It was hammering on the door
trying hard to get in
but do I want to see it
or do I want to run and hide 
in the darkness that has built itself around me

A flash! The door swings open
I clinch my eyes tight
afraid of what might happen
when we come face to face

Feelings of love,sadness,betrayal
are all melted into one
as they fill my head when
I listen to its words

Though I hear this
my eyes start to wonder
looking around only to see
the darkness fading away

Sweet and Sour it may be, 
but now as I sleep, I feel the coolness of my surroundings;
not afraid of what lurkes in the dark

And as I sleep
I sleep in relief;
cause I will close my eyes to darkness
only to awake to the light,
and the darkness will be no more! :)

Reason for writing:

    I know that there are some moments in your life, when all 
you want is the truth from someone that you really care 
about, even if the truth may hurt.  You would rather come
face to face with it, that be left in the dark and everyone
knows the truth but you!  :) (keep smile'n')!!
