Yesterday's Fragile Truth

Betrayal has devastated your heart,
blocking love’s magic before it can start.
And depression's quagmire, entraps your soul,
as disparaging lies exact their toll.

Chameleon clouds change, to match your mood,
releasing teardrops emotions have 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 counterfeit smiles, leave no room for hope.

The specter of fear that penetrates dreams,
fuels frightening bouts of silent screams.
And exiting the tunnel, there’s no light,
for the future’s foggy, obscured by fright.

The promise of tomorrow made to youth,
was written on yesterday’s fragile truth.
For happiness, is a word without weight,
it's simply a moment devoid of hate.
