A Sad Turn of Events
I think back on how you'd kiss my nose,
and I'd laugh; I remember it all.
Our life was once a merry-go-round,
a true paradise, as I recall.
Today brought a sad turn of events,
I laughed when you said you wished to leave.
But when I looked deep into your eyes,
your tears finally made me believe.
The restrictions of reality
had you pursuing fantasy dreams.
And now you want to feel free again;
no matter the cost to me, it seems.
My dreams were scuttled by betrayal,
caught in the eddies of hurts and fears.
And my confused heart sobs endlessly;
I'm drowning in an ocean of tears.
The essence of my misery is
distilled from the dregs of countless tears.
And it's a potent, corrosive brew;
that'll eat away at my heart for years.
