truth or lies?

This next poem also from 1996 I am not sure where this came from.

I clearly was pissed off with somebody, possibly my friend Dave at the time
but am not sure.

Truth / lies

Do I believe

What I heard last night?

Do I believe

What was said

Or do I dmiss

It as rubbish?

Complete and utter rubbish

Than expect the truth

And say

What I heard was the truth

But what if

He said the truth

Was actually the truth,

I can’t call him a lair.

He’s my friend.

How could I call one of

My friend a liar?

I can’t.

I just can’t,

It would ruin the friendhip

And worse still

Leave me with nothing

But regrets.

Regrets for what I said

Regrets for what I did

And would smell

Of sour grapes

Because I haven’t got

What’s hes got

And leave me feeling

Inhuman

And stood against the void

In bitterness.
