False Hope

The light appeared upon the dark horizon Twinkling brightly in the frozen air Nothing could have been more surprising Nothing else could make me stop and stare Bright and clear like a star that descended It shone towards me across open water A promise of all things fixed and mended An end to pain cause by emotional slaughter Like a moth I drifted slowly toward it Pulled in by the promise of love so warm Making waves I came near bit by bit To the light that could heal a heart torn As I carefully approach this white vision The black waves lapping its very base I too late sensed the deep indecision And all hope disappeared without a trace. Plunged back into the pitchest of black Adrift once again upon open water My broken heart left with another crack My emotions again my body slaughter. Where is the sense and the logic to this? To the pain caused by ones we hold dear Is it something my mind’s made to miss? If I don’t know how can I live without fear?
