I Dream of a Better Day
Labeling love a lesson in trust,
you think passion is fueled by lust.
And lately, I'm feeling led astray
by the sexual games that you play.
Time implies what my feelings convey;
eternal love is but a cliché.
And yet, desire continues to bait
a broken heart, in a lonely state.
Facing the inner core of my soul
is like staring down an empty hole.
And so, I dream of a better day,
away from the hurtful things you say.
Your lies have built love's funeral pyre
and oft compete to ignite the fire.
But like a phoenix rising from ash,
Hope is reborn within anger's flash.
Tears cannot wash my sadness away,
nor memories lost to yesterday.
And yet, realizing we are done,
I welcome tomorrow's cleansing sun.
