Brutal Honesty

(truth 1)
Sugar coated lies
Still taste bitter inside

(people 1)
Candy and flowers
Cards and cash
hugs and kisses
but watch as he leaves the misses
on to a mistress

(simple 1)
Paint a rotted egg
Colors vibrant deep in hughe
Crack it open and smell the toxins as they spew

(people 2)
tattered cloths simple words
small actions tiny gestures
nothing special but look and see
as each night they snuggle close
with each other in their dreams

(simple 2)
Box
Tarnished and cracked
squeaky metal hinge
open to see the gold within

(truth 2)
Brutal Honesty
Hurts for the moment but sets you free
