Here is a poem I wrote when I experienced my first heartbreak, and I was finally given some clarity when the truth revealed itself. I am astonished at my writing; pain brings out my true emotions. I promise that not a single word is a lie when you read “The Truth.”

“The Truth”

So now I finally know the truth

Had to figure it out on my own

Had to put the pieces of the puzzle together

Now the sky is clear and the puzzle is complete

After three months of pain and suffering

I finally know the truth

And I feel no more pain for you

Who would have thought what would hurt the most would be the cure?

Before I was dizzy, and confused, and so unsure

You gave me confidence then made me insecure

I lost all my enthusiasm and love for everything

I don’t think anyone could love me like I loved you

So now I finally know the truth

Had to figure it out on my own

Had to match up the parts

To patch up my heart

Now the sky is clear and the columns are aligned

Your lies of hope and promise

Buried me in a pile of lies and confusion

I was suffocating under your grasp

Thinking we had a future that would last

But you just chose your past

I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders

The truth hurts, but helps me get over…

A man who looked in my eyes and lied so easily

A man who brought me from my highest to my worst

And those lies, they hurt

But now I finally know the truth

Had to figure it out on my own

Had to order everything in my mind

Now the sky is clear and my mind is organized

After you broke my heart and lied to me

I finally know the truth

I can finally let you go

I can finally heal my wounds

And I feel no more pain for you

And now all the stars are aligned

Because I know the reason why

You changed your mind

In the blink of an eye

So now I finally know the truth

Had to figure it out on my own

Had to fix the damage of a storm with the sea

Now the sky is clear, the ocean has parted, and the tides are crashing over me

I now understand all of the signs

How I wondered why you left me, why?

Now I know the truth

For why you crumbled my heart all the way through

(When my heart broke) I had so much heart break, I didn’t know what to do

And it squeezes every time I think of you

And though I still love you

I can love still

I will find another love, I will

And there’s no hope for me and you

Because you and I both know you weren’t true

You left me for her

She wasn’t worth it, for what it’s worth

You looked in my eyes and lied so easily

You brought me from my highest to my worst

And those lies, they hurt

The truth will hurt, but it will help you get over…

Someone who looked in your eyes and lied so easily

Someone who brought you from your highest to your lowest

You can move on from the hurt

Now I have finally been set free

Now that everything makes sense to me

Now that I know the truth

I know the truth hurts, but you lied to me…

And it was the lies that hurt me worst

Be true to yourself and others. You may think that lying will ease the heartbreak, but nothing is more liberating than hearing the truth.
