A Brighter Tomorrow
When lies and mistrust
infect a relationship;
it falters, becomes weak,
and eventually dies.
And the shock of its passing
guides your thoughts;
taking you to the brink,
of despair.
A river of trickling tears
slowly gathers in strength;
as the hurt of love lost, lingers,
in the cracks of your broken heart.
And although time is an effective eraser:
you struggle with feelings
of helplessness
when pain places time on pause.
Sometimes, fate can be fickle:
and reality non-responsive
to your wishes and dreams.
When the winds of hope fail to blow,
stranding you in yesterday's shadow:
you are unable to see the light
of a brighter tomorrow;
shining, just beyond
the horizon; but it's there: nonetheless.
