Who knew?

 

Who knew?

The prodigal son was you?

You left, that much was true.

But your return, that is unexpectedly new.

 

Your big stories

Are they real?

Is that all that happened?

What’s the deal?

 

Were you true to your friends

Or stand apart again?

You don’t say

Who or why or when.

 

The more I dwell

On your selective memory

The more I know

There must be things you don’t allow us to see.

 

One thing about stories

They are never long enough

But you should reveal the whole truth

Though that would be really tough.
