Once I was happy

Once I was happy
Love was new
Life was bright

Then true motives revealed
That I’d been misled
Lied to, abandoned

Foolishly I tried to retrieve
The crushed dreams and
Rebuild the commitments

But the foundations were sand
The pillars were salt
And the roofing was mist

I struggled on
Shaping and shoring
Giving and bleeding

Until the structure was whole
But soullessly hollow
And endlessly cold

Now I am grieved
Drained and dying
Looking forward to release
