False Hopes
by Alisa JsAnd I'm crying from the inside where no one can hear
Those words you hurled my way,
Sliced deep
Took my hope away
Stuffed it down, way down in a place I've seldom seen
Until today
I thought you loved me
And were here by my side,
Someone I could count on, regardless
Of the weather reports, sun or rain
Hope or despair...
How could you talk that way
To me?
About me?
Telling me I'm crazy and don't even recognize
The danger signs
I believed in your love
It kept my hope alive
During those dark days, I've had so many of
Somewhere in this madness I believed you were there
Along side me
Next to my heart,
I held onto that tiny little spark of a thread
Until you took that away
And I realized I'm nowhere
Out there
Capsized,
Running on empty all the while
What a fool I've been all these years,
Standing by your side when you didn't even care
Not really,
Not about me
I chose to believe you loved me, regardless
And today I learn from your angry contempt
You're just like the rest,
Throw me away
Leave me for dead and destroyed,

It's amazing how distorted everything is through warped vision - like heat applied to glass ...love is there...beneath it all. it may never be the same love we want or expect. And may never look like anything we have seen before or maybe ever known before a rare flower indeed. Underneath the distortion of unique perception - there is love...
I love you, sister of the sea... |
