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
