Like A Child

Love Or Lack Of It  Like A Child I believed your words because I needed to hear them. I'd waited to hear them from someone like you. Like a child, consoled with your many false promises, Too infantile I, to then question their truth. I reached out to you in the midnight of loneliness, An anchor of light in the mire of my gloom. Like a child, embracing your empty, trite rhetoric, I thought you had hung them, the sun and the moon. You chose well your sweet words with the bullseye in question, My own foolish heart that had broken before. Like a child, I accepted your lies as pure Heaven. I'd waited a lifetime to be so adored. Little niggling dark doubts periodically surfaced. I pushed them aside with abandon and joy. Like a child, I let hopes over-ride my good senses, Too late I did learn. I'm your Internet toy. I am simply a fool, since I've questioned your motives, Albeit, I sit still in front of this screen. Like a child, finding notes that you wrote to another, I throw a quick tantrum, "You're hateful and mean!"  Music: Release Me |
