truth has fallen and these eyes are now awake
opened for maybe the first time
in a long time, maybe ever
careless and naive I was
trusting in the darkened smirk of one I never saw
in daylight's breath
curiously I still believed
but for reasons yet conceived ...

emotions plunge way deep beyond
impaled, I struggle to think, to blink
to see
beyond this anger's raging steam
of obvious
ridiculous,
of what the hell
was I even thinking with you,
your colors true
forgotten in the newness of each dismal dawn
and I turned away
not wanting to accept
reflect,
or correct my ways
shit! it felt so good
deliriously
how I wanted to believe ...

a belief that I, even I
who has stumbled past obstacles blooming
in that great unknown,
could stand a chance
with the likes of you
a real romance,
you've got no clue ...
