"An Uphill Battle"

I stare up at the starry winter sky
from the moonlit patch where i lie,
and wonder about the other part of my soul
restlessness roles in and my thoughts too, are of no console

so i give up and brace myself to face it
and let it all come down on me in separate bits,
but nothing makes sense, i feel like crap
for causing the pain & wonder, was it really worth it?

but worthy the decision truly was
as i think about the things that led to that cause,
and hope that he believes me because i am right
i promise to reason with him with all my might

and alas, i win the fight
of trust over love and wrong over right,
i can now say for sure that being truthful can get anything done
when decisions are limited and choices are none.
