I Dream of a Better Day
Tears cannot wash my sadness away,
mourning memories of yesterday.
And yet, today, nothing can be done,
so tomorrow brings a cleansing sun.
Falling in love's a lesson in trust,
for passion's often fueled by lust.
And lately, I'm feeling led astray
by the sexual games that you play.
White lies fuel love's funeral pyre
and oft compete to ignite the fire.
But like a phoenix, hope's born from ash,
only to burn within anger's flash.
Time verifies what feelings convey,
eternal love's no more than a cliché.
And yet, desire continues to bait
broken hearts, left 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.
