My Honesty

She told me she had enough of me And my honesty that she called negativity.

Luckily for me I have integrity So it was surprisingly easy

For me to say goodbye to her And shut the door on the years

And all of the love mutually expressed Because my integrity is all that I have.

As the years progress My circle has become smaller and smaller.

It will get to the point There will be only room enough for me.

Smaller space, cheaper rent. Smaller space, easier to heat and clean.

She told me she had enough of me And my negativity I call honesty –

I think about that now and warm myself With the obstinance I refer to as my integrity.
