Truth Poem by Carole Stout

I need your help.
I need the proof.
Please show me the entire truth.

I want to cry.
I want to die.
Is everything you say a lie?

I sit there dealing with the hurt and pain.
Watching you play your pathetic little game.
Hurting everyone you see.
Everyone including me.

You say you love
You say you care
What I'd like to know is when and where?

I love the way you take the time to sit and read this little rhyme.
But in the end you really don't care.
Not even enough to let me share.

I lose my mind.
I play the game.
This needs to stop, please end the pain.

You look to me
You say you love me
And yet you act like you're above me.

Honest to god
Stop with this game
I'm dead serious
It's driving me insane

I need your help
I need the proof
So please please please
Show me the truth.

I loved you once
I love you now
So please just stop if you know how.

It's killing me
You're little game
Does it even have a name?

I need your help
I need the proof
So please please please
Just show me the truth.
