Thank You for the Truth

"You can trust me. I swear I am here for you. Like you were always there for me." Those were words he hoped he would never regret to hear. So many forbidden truths told. His eyes widened. His hand trembled. His heart sank. It felt as if the air was sucked from his lungs. His eyes burned with pain. The truth hurts. He forever suspected such things, but didn't have the courage to inquire about it. Alas now the truth is known, but he can never reveal such truths to his family. War would rage once again. He, caught in-between the wills of those he loves, wishes for peace. His mind bending, his body writhed in pain, and his soul crushed. Where does he go from here? "Is there anyone out there?" His spirit cries.
