A Heart Breaks

You were my world atdaybreak;

Shining, glowing with theamber light

That grew to passion's fieryred

Long before the morningawoke.

We thought we would last forever,

Knew our torch would lightthe way.

Pity that the flame concealedthe

Demons lurking in the smoke.

 

Time can be an evil teacher

When the truth at lastunveils

The colors hidden in theheart

Which, early on, were cloakedand masked.

Had we seen in the beginning

What the trek of timerevealed,

We would not have made thejourney,

Would not have been so sorelytasked.

 

All the wonders one foresees

While other roads the mindforsakes.

This path was not meant tobe.

In the end...  a heart breaks.
