A LOSS
“Are friends delight or pain?”
–
“But if only they stay”
–
As the sun shines bright
Gone with the night
A frightful friend
–
“Is bliss, then, such abyss”
–
In trials
Then, will you fight?
See the light?
–
There is a reason for a shielded heart
Thrashed inordinately causes a heart to tatter
Are true friends ever to be found?
Is there an end to the pugnat?
I recall a time with no rage
Pure bliss, happiness
The comfortability to speak with no condemnation
–
Take care then
With a heart
‘Tis a fragile commodity
–
Is it possible that a person can change so much in the blink of an eye?
What is the point of a facade?
Is it to fill a void?
Is it the defeat of others that brings you to joy?
The ignorance of the heart
Will not listen to the wisdom of your brain
–
I did not know
Or did I?
I have seen, but denied
I hoped, I must confide
–
Trusted you, I did
Splintered my heart, you did
–
I had never seen malice as your intent
But what then could it be?
I do not know what to believe
You want forgiveness?
Is it worth the risk?
Is it true when you admit you were mistaken?
Back to the facade of bliss, is what I wish
To be naive again
A time when I truly trusted in you
I must accept that we will never be as we were
–
The glitter you display
Is no match for the dullness of your heart
Miserable is a heart at war with itself
–
Alas I forgive
But never to forget
A mask for the pain caused
My heart must not continue to be bruised
To forgive offers relief
Wary with my heart I have become
Lost,
is my effort with you
Forever,
I leave regret to meander in your mind
–
“If any ask me why,
‘T were easier to die
Than to tell.”
–
I must not fear pain
Not all will inflict agony
I hold hope through the torment
–
“When I hoped I feared,
Since I hoped I dared,”
–
“Hope Is the thing with feathers”
–
