In The Rain

I came here in search
of a believable theory
and again, I leave 
empty handed... 
treading the familiar path
back to what has always been.

I only left
because you turned away
I only left
because you never 
told me I could stay... 

This lie was made an offering
that held its ground
for judgments sake...
where honesty, apparently
was too fragile to survive.

Now I realize.

There is some secret you protect
beneath this ever shifting tide
though I swear, when I came here
there was nothing to hide.

And if my being here has
meant so little to you,
the least that you could do
is tell the truth.
