the love that once was in my heart
is used, abused, & torn apart
my trust in people i used to know
is gone forever
from trusting so.
the realities that once were real,
are memories now and hard to feel.
i used to see the good in all
that only left me feeling small,
the people that once were friends,
took something from me & caused an end.
my happy years are far behind,
lost in time & locked inside,
eating away at a peice of my heart,
sick inside, torn apart,
direction is lost to the unknown
finding my way, finding my home,
finding a little peace inside,
or wearing a smile & not having to hide,
living my life as the truth it should be,
setting the past forever free.
crying inside from a loss of pride,
running inside with nowhere to hide
no-one to save me
no-one to care
to take me away from this life of despair.
hiding my secrets & wanting to say
that the truth hurts and the lies dont go away,
the reality is hard to take
when feeling so lonely there is not much at stake,
empty days, empty nights
empty lives, that cause this fright,
confusion is always here,
making me worry & causing me fear.
maybe in time it will turn around
& i might be standing with my feet on the ground.
but until i feel stable, i'll feel incomplete
tables will turn & my heart skips a beat.
these are my lessons on my pathway to life
learning for reasons that never seem right,
this is the end of a poem and a rhyme
these are my feelings so confusing at times,
this is to say that i've lived and i've died
this is the end of hello & goodbye...
