The End of Nothing

There I was, my heart sank
My mind screeched to a halt
“How could this happen?” my head asked,
“I’ve done nothing but wait”

The wind blew my raging mind, unable to see
The time I spent was wasted
Too late I find out that I was being lead
Down a false road, all was done so I would be protected

The harsh truth stung as its dagger was removed
From my heart. My mind now knew why I had those four empty
Months of solitude. Lead down a false road
To spare my feelings with her fancy

Now too late I regret not opening my eyes
Now too late I listen to my heart
Now too late my mind makes a connection
Now too late I see medusa with the eyes of Alatheia
