Hidden Truths

By Bud Lemire

I thought I found true love, but there was so much she hid
She asked me for a gift card, and that's what I did
We connected strongly, spiritual love is what I thought
Thinking about it, maybe it was just her love I bought

She shared, pictures and poems with me
Yet there were, so many things I couldn't see
What was she hiding, I needed to know
Why was she putting on, such a sad show

She was looking for a real man, I was looking for a real woman too
Asking for money for anything, isn't something that real people do
All alone with her Granny, she was afraid of going offline
I was afraid in my world, I was losing my mind

When she tried many things, to get me to give
I held steady, my money is for the life that I live
I felt her energy strongly in the day, but mostly at night
From what I knew about her, she had a beautiful light

What was happening to me, was this a test
I gave my all, I really gave my very best
What I really want to know is, what was this all for
When I walked right into her life, and she slammed the door
Hidden truths are lies, with chocolate poured on top
It may taste pretty sweet, but where will it all stop

Author Note:


Love can be such a mystery. Especially when it is
defined by two different people. We had just met
less than two months before now. I hardly knew
anything about her. She knew much more about
me. She is offline for now, but when she comes
back, how will it be? I need answers to why this
is happening, and what my role is in this. Am I
to teach, or to learn from this?
