What Remains
The eyes said to the heart & brain
I see clearly
The mirage isn't nearly as close as
it once was
Actions do as an action does & things
are what they will be
You see more once the veil has been
removed
The shoes on these feet no longer
have legs to move
What you have seen proves your
eyes haven't lied
They've spied things that the mind
despised leaving your heart
tender
It rendered you motionless in a
river of emotions that
drowned you in loves potion
Now your vision is open to new
beginnings
It's a sin to not follow or be true
to what your reality
is rendering
I'm not lost in the illusion of what
love is or should be
I'm free from its chains & what
remains due to its
captivity
I'm sending a heart shaped symbol
masked with chivalry
as it hides behind disdain
What remains is a memory once
etched into the brain
A cold picture & reminder to
never again feel
the same
It's shameful what we're forced
to endure as a pure
heart & soul
There is no cure for a heart
grown cold & sick
from the rain
Never scorn one full of love
& pain lest your constitution
be bold
