Yesterday's Fragile Truth

Betrayal devastates your naive heart,
severing all ties before love can start.
And slowly, depression entraps your soul
as disparaging lies exact their toll.
Chameleon clouds change to match your mood,
releasing tears that bruised emotions brewed.
And reality somehow seems insane
as your heart breaks from the weight of the pain.
A fickle sun no longer shares its light,
sulking in shadows tethered to the night.
And feigning feelings, you struggle to cope;
for a broken heart cannot harbor hope.
The specter of fear that invades your dreams,
fuels frightening bouts of silent screams.
At the end of the tunnel, there's no light;
the future looks foggy, obscured by fright.
The promise of tomorrow made to youth
was written on yesterday's fragile truth.
And happiness is a word without weight,
it's simply a moment devoid of hate.
