I want you to be truthful constantly

For down the path of lying, no good lies

Trust and openness must always be:

Without them a relationship soon dies

And how else could I know the real you?

Or you discover what makes me this way?

If we don't own up to our potent brew

And be prepared to listen, come what may

The wound cut by the sword of truth, still raw

Nags at me yet, I pick and scratch and gnaw

'Truth is Beauty - Beauty, Truth' I've heard

The bare-faced naked truth is not so fair

When thrown out to a victim unprepared

Truth should bear the warning 'Use with care'
