Today I learned...
When the night began to fall and the breezeso gently came,
A heart riddled with dissapointement
and a soul clouded with shame,
Kept laughter at a distance as words said, haunted
the mind,
Today I learned I never could see,
I have been blind.
My best friend tried soothing words
yet they reached only where
I allowed them to come,
I looked at the projects not completed,
the desire once lived,
of that desire I no longer have some.
For in the middle of the moment of joy
came a moment of betrayal,
The walls came down,
tears and broken promises
are found,
the colors so vivid and up lifting
within my dreams are now pale.
I hold a pain, a tear, an empty promise,
a revelation too heart breaking to
express,
I hold a memory of a man who
I believed in
that never existed, but
I will survive never the less...
