A Sad Turn Of Events
I think back on how you'd kiss my nose,
and I'd laugh, remembering 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 hurting heart sobs endlessly;
drowning in an ocean of my 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.
