when the truth is hard to swallowit must be rephrased
day after day..
...month after month..
made visual, poetic, intellectual,
...technical, conversational, black & white, whatever it takes.
The biggest secrets are not
kept maliciously
to withhold good things from another
but compassionately
to withhold the stabbing pain
those words would dispense.
Strength is having the courage
to dispense those
painful drops of truth
while standing firm,
not flinching,
not pretending.
but stating the truth in love
committed to caring
for the friend
for the friendship.
(why could that not happen long ago? whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhy??
(and why is it such a sin to want to be a friend? to care for a person, be kind to them...)
oh well. no sense living in regret.
I think that I am getting (ouch) stronger.
