Although trust has been taken – I ignore the signs

There’s no rest in the worry of lies

I have laid restless for nothing in the past

Yet still ended as it was destined to fly

Tend to bury the hurt in the words spoken

All but, ignore the unfairness that remains

Choose to remain in my solitude once more

Sleeping longer to forget what’s the same

Unbelievable are the moments of confused

Losing myself in the madness and fear

No reasoning or helpful words have done

What the heart can do over the years

For now, I have sought emotional refuge

Closed the door on the battered case of my heart

Removing the quest for the hidden treasure

That refused me beyond the shadows past

Rescued leaves of the autumn to fill her

Soaked with rain that will never end

I have no love here left for anyone, anyhow

Not one hand and I now able to lend.
