Tethered To My Heart
Reality's a stark place
that dominates existence.
And I cannot escape it
no matter how hard I try.
I wanted to believe we'd
be together forever.
But your lies and betrayal
slowly tore my heart apart.
Love's indomitable flame
wasn't meant to be extinguished.
And its demise was painful,
fueling deep depression.
Fate spun a fickle fortune
spiked with ecstasy and pain.
And yet, time has the power
to resurrect dying hopes.
Drifting dreams seldom stray far
tightly tethered to my heart.
And there will come a day when
I'll believe in them again.
