Misery

The picture of my life was this-
No knowledge of how your heart felt
I should have left questions unasked
Oh, happiness, where are you?

Full of hope and blissful peace

Love surrounded me, it’s heavenly

Great possibilities flowed endlessly

I couldn’t wish for something more

The days ahead I waited for

There in my dreams, I know I’d be

With each and all I want for me

Then abruptly my world collapsed

Now I just wish truth did not hurt

I should have left me innocent

Living the fantasy, although masked

I would have had a sunny day

On this cruel winter’s day

I would have been smiling for real

Instead of faking what I feel

I could have had you still with me

But now all’s gone, it’s sad and empty

What to do, I do not know

Go on pretending?  Maybe no!

Live reality, should I do?
