sometimes
we make promises
we shouldn’t have
to people
we thought we knew
who said things
that we didn’t know
were not true
and sometimes
when loyalty and love are linked
as they are for me
it’s confusing
we get confused
as nightmares come true
and it’s no longer clear
what the loving thing is to do
and sometimes
everything we once thought we knew
becomes a question
questions
questions
we can never really know
the answer to
and so
we learn
to let go
of needing truth
to choose
and choose care
for what is left of self
over commitments made
when we thought
we knew
yes when
we thought
we knew
what was
true
yes then
we breakthrough
yes then
i broke
through
yes then
when i didn’t need
to know anything
from you
then i broke
through
