Anchor of Trust

Clinging to the reality of your world, you engage in a game of lies and deceit. And devastating emotions get unfurled, for the fruits of passion oft taste bittersweet. Giving lust free reign opened your heart to pain, and hopes were uprooted, unable to grow. Yet, fantasy's seeds were all planted in vain, stomped underfoot faster than egos can sow. Looking back, you have lost sight of tomorrow; and with no anchor of trust, love's free to drift. Betrayed by betrayal, you drown your sorrow in a sea of tears, where the currents run swift. The pain mystifies like a scene from Macbeth, for when there are no answers, you've failed the test. Anxieties climb higher with every breath; until you realize you're not like the rest.
