Only

I am the truth

the sun that illuminates our earth

the smile that warms your heart

the laughter that nourishes your soul

and yet….

With no lies the truth is meaningless

With no moon the sun is a blight

With no tears a smile is empty

And sorrow makes laughter all the sweeter

My Truth longs for falsehood

My sun for dusk

My smile for the salty catharsis of tears

I am..…..alone
