I Dream of a Better Day

Tears cannot wash my sadness away, mourning memories of yesterday. And yet, today, little can be done, awaiting tomorrow's cleansing sun. Finding love is a matter of trust, for passion is oft fueled by lust. And lately, I'm feeling led astray; by the convoluted games you play. Betrayal builds love's funeral pyre as lies compete to ignite the fire. Like a phoenix, hope rises from ash, only to burn within anger's flash. Time echoes what my feelings convey, which is that love is but a cliché. And yet, desire continues to bait my lonely heart in its broken state. Peering into the core of my soul is like staring down an empty hole. And so, I dream of a better day; away from the hurtful things you say.
