Tearing into Truth

Her eyes glistening through the tears

Tell the story held so tightly

In her heart.

The heart of another longs for the story to unfold

With all the trappings of life

Her words tell partials

Piecemeal truths, only what she wants heard.

The hears past the pieces

Knows more than is told

And feels her heart sink.

Are we moving toward better times?

Asks the other.

Are we feigning life while dying? She questions.

Even the inquiries rip her soul.
