He woke to a sound
Crying
Getting adjusted to the dark
It was all in his head
Looking over
Sharing his sheets
Was the Truth
Still in his bed
Sleeping over
She had been for a while now
He took in her face
And her smile
Wow
Although she was asleep
It tried to reach her eyes
He had asked her
Why she chose to stay
And she had said
It was because he had
Faced her honestly
Finally
Admitting
To the loss
Hole that could never be filled
Whole
Was going to come down
To perspective
Will
He ever see it again
That
He didn’t know
But he needed a companion
And there was none more reliable
Than the Truth
In truth
He had been able to move forward
Stop blaming himself
For past mistakes
Seeing how to make his future better
Although
It was when
He met the other half of his spirit
It made him wish
He had been in bed with the Truth
Since his youth
But things were
As they were
Worth everyday
Every struggling accomplishment
He’s started to tell himself
So as he laid there
In the early Monday morning cool
Staring at the ceiling
The pull in his chest surprised him
Feeling guilty
He looked over to the Truth
And was sure
The smile was shining
Through her eyelids
Surprising
Him enough
To lose his hold on the barrier
That kept back thoughts of
Wife
Kids
