Honesty

Song: how long will I love you by Ellie Goulding

As I sat across the room watching her
The Jerky movements the loss of her flair
She sat at arms length, I shook my head in despair
For the things unsaid, unspoken, ignored but there
I tried to understand and put myself in her shoes
The pain of being exposed and displayed must've been a bitter pill to chew
But why all the secrecy what could be the excuse
For keeping me in the dark and spinning an unwanted ruse
I lay back on the chair wondering how we got here
How the trust and friendship strived for disappeared
I sigh as I recall the events that made me ponder
The strength of our love, trust and faith in each other
The pleasure you gain from all eyes on you
Driving a wedge between us as u try that other fool
I close my eyes tired and scared for you
For the person I see is a Mirage a contrast
To you the epitome of integrity, Grace and class
I know I crossed the line
But I think it's about time
You faced your fears of being ignored
And tell me all the things hidden before I'm gone
She stands up, startling me out of my reverie
Whispering incoherent words lacking continuity
I look at her, really look at her and I finally see
The truth peering down at me to oblivious to perceive
The brutal honesty and profound integrity
The lack of secrets and trustworthy spirit that fueled her beauty
Was gone lost in the wind
The reason why I stayed floating in its wake
