Sad Truth

A distressful note long forgotten
How varied the impact
Dramatic, subtle
Rising, falling
As vague as a fog shrouded shore
As lost as my place in the world
A distressful note long forgotten
It’s themes and variation define existence
The intimacy of a lover
The indifference of a stranger
A distressful note long forgotten
Is the sad truth
It’s who I am

Sadly things go wrong in life and love, but still we can rise above… Belle

I agree, Bell. Fortitude, calm contemplation and self-love will serve us well in breaking through to the light. Thank you, Belle for understanding.
