Truth

Hey

Where are you?

Have you left me?

I have been searching

I am always searching

I have been hurting

I am often hurting

I have been feeling

Mostly

Because I stopped drinking so much

But anyway

I am wondering

Where you are

Are you in reality

If so

Whose?

Mine

Someone else's

Everyone's?

Are you in

Subconscious thought

Hiding

In the mental meanderings

Of sleepers

Of dreamers

Are you in the past?

The present?

The future?

Are you everywhere?

Nowhere?

I need you

I need you to light my way

It's dark

And I'm confused

and I don't want to hurt myself

Or anyone else

But,

Truth,

I have met you before

So I already know

Hurt follows you

Like a shadow on a sunny day

Still

I will take the pain

Which comes

With illumination

I just hope

Everyone else

Can do the same...
