The Truth Poem by Faduma Fiasco

u claim u broke my heart and i havent quite moved on....
but, to be honest i cant say that ur 100% wrong
it was this way for a while
until i regained composure and found my smile
but, how could you leave my heart shattered & broken
the answers i get from you are words unspoken
except for the interesting songs you got, they seem to be expresssin'
the feelings you have in your heart but you aint confessin'
life lesson
learned.....
you play with fire.... you get burned
but dont say i havent earned
my share of the guilt
a beautiful relationship i could've built
broke down just like that right in front of my eyes
sad to say no one heard my cries
cuz, they were busy wit their happy lives
honestly, i guess things happened for the better
the tears have dried up from this letter
if your carrying a gun i ask you please shoot
cuz now i wanna die knowing i just spoke the truth
