Bittersweet

the truth now told
a loud but silent pain
eases something inside you
while making another part hard
you’ve known all along
keeping so quiet
longing to know the truth
but hating to hear
the words now out
a poorly kept lie
relief floods
no more pretending
it is known you know
a sour taste in mouth
now covers the rest
a lie now know
is so bittersweet
