LEARNING THE TRUTH

I wish I could save you from the life you've dealt

to yourself

and the secrets you held

from everyone else

but me.

It's hard to see

that the innocence that lied beneath

your skin

has deteriorated from rim to rim

and the person that I grew up with

has such a little grip

on the restraint

that used to make

her someone I knew

with just a few

secrets I didn't know.
