Crystal Clear

A Poem by FoundInThought

An unpolished poem that I've been struggling to edit. I think many of us learn the pain of an all-too-promising relationship gone bad and I was trying to capture that here.

I don’t think I ever had the choice
To decide how you made me feel
I remember the sweet sound of your voice
Your touch so soft and your laugh so very real

You were the one who made life more than it seemed
You were the one who pushed me to new heights
You were my future and you were what I dreamed
You were the champion who won all my fights

Our life together was a life full of laughter
And a promise made to hold each other dear
We had finally found our happily ever after
And the road ahead was so crystal clear

It came as a shock when that dream came to an end
The light receded and the darkness took its place
You walked away and I felt my heart start to rend
A life without you was a life I didn’t know how to face

Resentment built up until my mind was in a cage
Another day, another dollar, yet another blank stare
Pain led to sadness which paved the way for rage
No reasons given and and even less reasons to care

This life might be a lie and I was so naive in my youth
My future shining bright and my heart without fear
But then I crossed that line and I came to see the truth
My love might be blind but my hate is crystal clear
