Shadows of Yesterday
He said he knew your heart;
but didn't bother to look.
And then bragged to his friends;
one glance was all it took.
Your childhood fantasies
warped reality's truth.
And hope's polished mirror;
show delusions of youth.
Tangled in a web of lies;
your heart struggles to cope.
For paper-dreams crumble;
when built only of hope.
Shadows of yesterday
cast doubt on tomorrow.
For it's hard to conceal
such anguish and sorrow.
Time dulls truth's cutting-edge;
numbing your inner pain.
But it may take a while,
before you smile again.
