To Paul Anthony


 


The music and parties and laughter
Were carefully crafted illusions;
A wall to protect what was inside,
To avoid your unwanted intrusions.
Now, you see the truth.


I was here every day, I was open,
No barrier built was too high.
Though you may have thought it was useless,
You owed me the option to try.
Now, you see the truth.


Cold emptiness filling the darkness
Behind the blank eyes of my stare.
Alone with my sadness and heartache,
Too much for me ever to share.
Now, you see the truth.


When you chose to run from your nightmares,
And torments that haunted your mind,
You multiplied all of the sorrow
For all of us you left behind.
Now, you see the truth.


The agony stretched on for years,
One solution was all I could see.
I'm no more a burden for you now.
My friend, I am finally free.
Now, you see the truth.


My friend, you were never a burden,
And our friendship was never a chore.
I weep knowing you live no longer,
But life will go on as before.
Now, you see the truth.

An inviolable, almost child-like observation. The poem flows unbroken when spoken aloud. The mysterious tag on each strophe, though, leads one to feel a bit flummoxed as to what this mysterious version of 'truth' really is.
