Yesterday's Fragile Truth

Betrayal devastates your trusting heart,
severing love's bond; before it can start.
And depression slowly entraps your soul
as disparaging lies exact their toll.
Chameleon clouds change to match your mood,
releasing teardrops sad emotions brewed.
And your heart breaks from the weight of the pain
as monsters hide in the thoughts of the sane.
A fickle sun no longer shares its light,
sulking within shadows gathered by night.
And feigning feelings, you struggle to cope,
for a broken heart cannot harbor hope.
The specter of fear that penetrates 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.
