I Never Knew
That I Was
Tickling The Wire
But It Seems I Did
Having Found
Condemning Evidence
I Wanted To Obtain
A Confession
So I Lied
And Planted
A Concocted Story
In Her Head
Hoping I Might
Arrive At The
Truth About
The Evidence
She Talked
In Her Sleep
So I Said I Heard
Her Talking
Romantically
To Someone
Who Didn’t
Have My Name
Sitting Across
The Room From Me
She Sat In Silence
For An Extended
Pause
Before She Finally
Spoke
She Said
“I Want A Divorce”
In A Soft Whisper
And With A Solemn
Look Upon Her Face
In That Moment
My Life And Mind
Exploded
A Denial Of There
Being No One Else
Was Offered
But Not Really
Believed By Me
I Lived In Shock
For Two Weeks
Before An Admission
Was Finally Offered
And Set Me On A
Two Year Process
Of Healing
That Made Me
Finally See
And Accept
That The Universe
Had A Better Plan
For Me
Tickling The Wire
Is A Process To Obtain
Incriminating Information
From Someone
The Results
You Find
Are Not
Always What
You Want To Know
Or Fun To Hear
Truth Is Not
Painless To Hear
But It Does
Set You Free!!!

Letting Go And Accepting The Truth Is Not Easy But It Will Set
You Free And Lead To A Better Life If You Will Allow It To Happen!!
Thanks for letting me share this from long ago and far away!

The tactic of “tickling the wire,” means having wiretaps in place and then placing stories in the media and then waiting for revealing conversations.
