Staggering Reality

standing here

after this generation,

tears flowing beyond my brokenness

unspeakable realizations

chocolate covered lies

sugar coated reasons

why she never really tried

and me, the fool who hoped to see

maybe a peek,

maybe a glimpse

of my lifelong dream

of the woman, who remains unnamed

truth is,

it was less like a dream

more like a scream fest,

as my heart bled

around her toxic mess

after all these years, 

after all this time

what a waste 

and a death stroke,

inside that young girl's mind

when youth dies, and we move into older age, we look back at the dreams we had that did not come to fruition...and we look back at the messes we made of ourselves...but on a positive note...we learned...we lived, we loved and we did what we could...that has to be a good thing, i surmise.

yes, indeed.. we saw, we experienced and lived to tell about it...

that in itself is a testimony...
