Truth Eats The Heart

I guess I just know you too well,
You and your pride,
But I fell in love with you,
You might wonder why.

Well, for one you are brave,
That goes without saying,
And as you may have noticed,
A lot of people can't say the same thing.

But I've known since I was little,
That I could never have you,
You are to be Olo'eyctan one day,
And I have duties too.

My name is Tìngay,
It means truth,
And truth eats the heart,
When I'm with you.

Your hand is already given,
To the luckiest girl I know,
She knows her way around this clan,
She's the princess after all.

Will I ever tell you any of this?
Of course the answer's no,
Because I'm just a girl and you're so special,
Your ignorance is my bliss.

Okay, that's not a total truth,
I feel like my name means I cannot lie,
For whatever reason I wish you knew,
How I think when I see you.

So this poem is pretty much for my own sake,
I just felt I should let my feelings loose,
Cause what started as a childhood crush,
Is now just something I can't bare to face.

I'll say it again,
Truth eats the heart,
I can never have you,
And it's killing me.
