All Too Familiar
Teardrops fall like a cleansing rain,
splashing against your broken heart.
And washed away by years of hurt,
empty promises drift apart.
Your fate is all too familiar;
you found someone to share your dreams.
And then, doubt somehow surges up,
initiating silent screams.
Reacting to wounded feelings,
hope morphs into pain and remorse.
For, lost on the path to your heart,
love irrevocably changed course.
And reality reappears
with the sound of a slamming door.
For no one's there to hear him beg
to rekindle love's flame; once more.
Feeling feelings of helplessness,
what's happening seems surreal.
And you call upon time; to help
carry you beyond this ordeal.
