A Brighter Tomorrow
When lies and mistrust
infect a relationship;
it falters, becomes weak,
and eventually dies.
The pain of its passing
guides your thoughts;
taking you to the brink
of despair.
As a river of trickling tears
slowly gather in strength;
the pain of betrayal lingers
in the cracks of your broken heart.
And though time is a known eraser,
the hurt will always feel fresh.
And you struggle with feelings
of helplessness;
in the face of love lost.
Sometimes, fate is fickle;
and reality is non-responsive
to the wishes and dreams;
that fill your sails.
And as life slip into a lull,
the winds of hope fail to blow;
and so you get stuck
in yesterday's shadow.
And you are unable to see the light
of a brighter tomorrow;
shining, just beyond
the horizon.
