Mistaken Identity
I thought it was a road, it turned out to be a parking lot
In my hands I held a crystal ball but it was
just a bubble waiting to be burst.
The conveyer belt seemed to take me forward
but everything around me was really moving back.
Often what you’ve lost isn’t obvious at first.
Seems what you never had is what you miss the most
Shards and splinters of what might have been
carving initials on your heart.
The bright promise of the rainbow
is really just another way to look at rain
Reality not circumstance keeps us apart.
Close the windows, lock the door, throw away the key
Draw the curtains on the happy memories
they were never meant to last.
The sun goes down on hopes and dreams
fading swiftly, fleeing forever into the dark
Trust and innocence are relegated to the past.
Cobwebs of a life gone by like a maiden’s wedding dress
All gossamer and lace dressed for just a day
the magic fades all too soon.
Tears fall like autumn leaves and lie forgotten
on the ground swept over by the winds of time
Leaving only echoes of a long forgotten tune.
Love lost dances solo on a darkened stage
Movements to a sad and silent melody
the last act draws to a close.
What I thought was reality was just a pretty show
the curtain comes down, the players leave the stage
I’m on my own - Love’s Labours Lost, I suppose.
