Shadows of Yesterday
He said he knew your heart;
one glance was all it took.
And then bragged to his friends;
he didn't bother to look.
Childhood fantasies were
mere delusions of youth.
For fate's mirror of lies
warped reality's truth.
Tangled within doubt's web,
your heart struggles to cope.
And paper dreams crumble
when built only on hope.
Shadows of yesterday
cast doubt on tomorrow.
For it's hard to conceal
such anguish and sorrow.
Time dulls truth's cutting-edge,
numbing your inner pain.
Yet it may take a while,
before you smile again.
