'Hello...'

"Hello...Can I ask you about ...."
she barely got the words out
.... one of those moments
when you wish for a weak
connection. for the phone
to simply fall from your hand
and fade away. for a time
when time
could retrace the steps back
to the first time you spoke
to him, only this time...
you listened to the voice inside
your own head....
however, you trust and you believe
and you move forward into the
web he wraps around your mind
seeing only the little tidbits, juicy
morsels for you to chew on
as though
this, really is all you need
and you start to believe ... that it is

till ...
the next time you question
and the next time you lay awake because
those damn voices have been screaming
at you all night and you once again

go deaf of heart
blind of soul
dumb...simply of mind...

no one else to blame.... you had the
chance, numerous times.
heart spoke, you walked
right back into the scorpions den
only now, here it is,

truth blasting in your
ears and you can't run from it
it's in your home...right in front of you
the words of someone ...
betrayed and
the sting of her painful tears are slicing
your wrists...

here, you say ... bleed me of him
drain all the false promises
the denial of facts from his own lips
as he yells...
"She's lying"

and I fall
backwards against this wall of nails
and on to this paper my truth
prints, a heart song
...I simply believed
till she said...
"Can I ask you about ....my Husband"
