\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No Comfort In The Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n

She was acting squirrelly. Something is wrong.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll just be patient. It won\u2019t take long.<\/p>\n

The truth will come out sooner or later.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d rather be pulling teeth from a gator.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then she says it\u2019s got to end. It\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

She can\u2019t go on . It\u2019s no field of clover.<\/p>\n

We just don\u2019t seem to be compatible.<\/p>\n

It seems to be where it\u2019s at, you know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no comfort in the truth<\/p>\n

This is driving me through the roof.<\/p>\n

Makes me suspicious . Is she lying?<\/p>\n

Is there another? She\u2019s not crying.<\/p>\n

How much longer must this go on?<\/p>\n

Probably just until she\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no comfort in the truth.<\/p>\n

This is driving me through the roof.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I said we share most everything.<\/p>\n

We are even both right wing.<\/p>\n

We like much of the same things.<\/p>\n

Any more alike would be boring.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She said don\u2019t try to change my mind.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like something that you find.<\/p>\n

Then put in your pocket to keep around.<\/p>\n

I am feeling lost instead of found.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no comfort in the truth.<\/p>\n

This is driving me through the roof.<\/p>\n

Makes me suspicious. Is she lying?<\/p>\n

Is there another? She\u2019s not crying.<\/p>\n

How much longer must this go on?<\/p>\n

Probably just until she\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

There is no comfort in the truth.<\/p>\n

This is driving me through the roof.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are you talking about?, I said.<\/p>\n

You make me feel like I am dead.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not something that I found.<\/p>\n

Your someone I want around.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the point. I\u2019m not a \u201cthing.\u201d<\/p>\n

No, I\u2019m not trying to be mean.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m saying; I\u2019m an individual.<\/p>\n

A living person with a free will.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is no comfort in the truth.<\/p>\n

This is driving me through the roof.<\/p>\n

Makes me suspicious. Is she lying?<\/p>\n

Is there another? She\u2019s not crying.<\/p>\n

How much longer must this go on?<\/p>\n

Probably just until she\u2019s gone.<\/p>\n

There is no comfort in the truth.<\/p>\n

This is driving me through the roof.<\/p>\n
