Clarity

Once upon a time are words
that have betrayed so many
young hearts, too naive to know
that those four words spin
golden lies.

Drenched in dreams so you don't
have to drown in reality, you soon
are coming to find clarity.

Clarity in the darkness as your eyes
adjust to the tones.

Clarity in the pain that embraces
you more than the warmth and love
that you'd expect.

This type of realization is some sort
of sick, cruel joke.

I wish I didn't have to accept it
but I know now that this is the truth,
this is the true eyes after receiving
Clarity.
