A Sad Turn of Events
I think back on how you'd kiss my nose,
and I'd laugh; this makes no sense at all.
Our life was once a merry-go-round,
a true paradise, as I recall.
Today brought a sad turn of events,
I laughed when you said you plan to leave.
But when I looked deep into your eyes,
your tears finally made me believe.
The restrictions of reality
found you pursuing fantasy dreams.
And you desire to feel free again,
no matter the cost to me, it seems.
My dreams were scuttled by betrayal,
caught in the eddies of hurts and fears.
And my confused heart sobs endlessly;
I am drowning in a sea of tears.
The essence of my misery is
distilled from the dregs of countless tears.
And it's a potent, corrosive brew
that'll eat away at my heart for years.
