How honest can one be?
If I was
It’d break your heart
To know
I don’t love you anymore
I’ve tried hard to find ways
To tell you
But
I’ve hidden my feeling
Kept it secret
How honest can I be?
I consider honesty
As well as freedom
Best qualities…
Main goals in life
A premise
How free
How honest can I be?
You’d think I betrayed you
You’d be convinced I deceived you
You won’t even want to hear
Who the other one is
How honest can I be?
By avoiding your suffering...
I am free to think
I am free to feel
But
I am not free to do,
I am not free to be.
So I swallow all my attempts
To be
Honest...

Dear Dulce, what you have expressed here is so very true. One cannot be completely honest or free with anyone. It would be too hurting and vulnerable. No one can understand. I try to be honest with myself and sometimes that also seems a little vague.
Joy always,
Susan
you refer to 'another one'...
if that be the case, isnt the failure to be honest not only robbing you of your freedom but the one with whom you cant be honest...in essence living a lie...and deceptive...?
Brian:
The point is there might not be another one and even if there is, it need not be a romantic one. Well, sometimes certain things are well placed if within us. I know you will not agree :) Smiles.
I think being honest...is trusting...knowing you can be free with 'someone' who may not get it but who will respect you anyways...
normaly everyone gets it when love is gone !
do not pretend to love someone .
that really hurts .
Lieber ein Ende mit Schrecken ,
als ein Schrecken ohne Ende .
Oh I knew this would be controversial, but in a sane way...
I am really interested in your opinions...
For this is so contradictory...
So wise and so poignant, Dulce. Honesty is revered as a great virtue, a element of character we should all strive for. Indeed, one often hears that phrase "Honesty is the best policy".
But then the unfortunate reality arises that the truth is often hurtful. And that telling the truth could break somebody's heart. And so one finds oneself trapped in a paradox of love.
Your poem speaks to us all, your words have a resounding beauty and a pensive grace. Tragic and wonderful, Dulce.
OMG.....
HONESTLY! Most of those I know--including me--are mostly honest...But is "mostly honest" really honest?--I don't think so....
Hmmmmmmmm.
Dulce, in this post, you REALLY "looked under the carpet". Your PERFECT image looks on top the so-called honesty of most Peeps, and under at the hidden truths.
Again, only can I say OMG!
I can only wonder where your muse will next lead, to what virtue or "deadly sin"??? Or something else...Dulce is really Dulce here.
Again your BEST series EVAH, Canary-Girl!
Florida man....
rennschnecke (above) writes it in German:
Better a terrible end,
than terror without end.
No one can know everything inside a person's soul.
This actually reminds me of my daughter, nine, who is warm and loving, but has a seriousness, a depth, that I know I will never dive to the bottom of. It's been written on her face since she was born.
Some secrets are better left unsaid.
Honestidad... un bien muy preciado amiga mía, y difícil de mantener.
Lujo leerte, como siempre.
besazos!!!!
How hard it can be sometimes to stay true to one's own beliefs without destroying those of another. It's a dilemma but one that I think has to be addressed eventually. Is there any advantage to later rather than sooner?
I have received this honesty in the past. Would it have been better not to be honest,not really ,it would only prolonge the pain. xx
ouch, honesty hurts sometimes.
Rennschnecke is totally right!
The truth hurts sometimes but at least someone knows for sure where someons stands and can begin to mourn for the missing of the loved one. After that point they can accept it and go on with live!
