A Brighter Tomorrow
When lies and mistrust
infect a relationship;
it falters: becomes weak,
and eventually dies.
And the shock of its passing
haunts your thoughts;
dragging you to the brink
of despair.
As a river of trickling tears
slowly gathers in strength:
feelings of love linger
in the cracks of your broken heart.
And you're devastated by feelings
of helplessness, and abandonment.
Sometimes, fate can be fickle,
and non-responsive
to your wishes and dreams:
leaving you stranded in yesterday's shadow.
And you are unable to see the light
of a brighter tomorrow
shining just beyond
the horizon:
but it's there: nonetheless.
