Truth
Truth
You were my king my idol I worshipped you each day bringing you gifts of fruit and flowers touched by sunshine kissed with tears and made with my love You feasted on my bounty and reclined in the warmth of my passion Enjoying the relief of my rescue I filled the emptiness in your dark heart and became your doormat Fact Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing © Word Prompts King - Word of the Day Relief - RDP Fact - FOWC Image by Kris Åsard from Pixabay
Vicious Cycle
Vicious Cycle
When one’s truth is not spoken
Lines become blurred
Wandering through a fog
Not knowing what was heard
One miscommunication can multiply
Assumptions are for the lazy
Not reading between the lines
Can make things hazy
You understand this
I understand that
Knocking heads together
Trying to avoid another spat
From the comfort of the non-committal
You let things fall where they may
When it is not what you expect
The accusations begin the fray
A tempestuous relationship
Rocking the stability of the union
Blinded by anger
Is living with delusion
A lesson to be learned
Listen to what is said
Stand up for your rights
Being careful where you tread
There is no right
There is no wrong
It is a respect for the other
A commitment to staying strong
Speaking your truth
Not playing any games
Planning accordingly
Avoiding the obvious pain
Expecting the worst
Hoping for the best
Grace under pressure
And always honesty expressed
