Glimpse of What

by gentlegirl

run through life
at such a pace
giving love
without a face

while at least
the joy you seek
short in time
allowed a peek

smell and taste
delight in feel
to you amazed
thoughts of real

laughter rings
like bells peal
words believed
and lies conceal

actions true
not long to face
broken hearts
talk of space

one so true
without the other
meaningless love
why to bother

pieces of heart
fall to ground
joy to sadness
all now found

she to him
he to her
nothing left
both concur

back to back
silence now
no more they
believe the vow

tears she cries
his eyes fill
what was done
love was killed

dishonest words
said to each
she now he
cannot reach

gone the feel
trust and belief
words of sorry
no relief

no goodbye
says she in end
words unspoken
why defend

run away
her usual choice
never again
he'll hear her voice
