The game
A light in the dark
Leading me through the mire
You found me alone in the shadows
I thought you saw the truth
And greeted me with love and acceptance
A prayer answered
But it was all a lie
You showed me the future
Then took it all away
I refused to see what was so clear
I was just a game you wanted to play
But the game got old
So you returned me to my box
No light this time
It’s so much darkest than I remember
Leading me through the mire
You found me alone in the shadows
I thought you saw the truth
And greeted me with love and acceptance
A prayer answered
But it was all a lie
You showed me the future
Then took it all away
I refused to see what was so clear
I was just a game you wanted to play
But the game got old
So you returned me to my box
No light this time
It’s so much darkest than I remember

Heartbreaking write.
To be given light in the darkness,
To be shown a future,
So much truth in the old saying,
you never miss what you never had.
But that’s what we yearn
for so we take the chance.

Time heals all wounds. You find the right person when the time is right. Keep on writing.
