False Hopes

A Poem by Treble

“Lies”

Tell me my future is bright.
Tell me I'll be okay.
Tell me I'll be stronger in the end.
Tell me loss will get easier.
Tell me I won't lose everyone.
Tell me I won't become my dad.
Tell me you know these things,
then tell me you can't predict the future.
Tell me you've been where I am
and you made it through
so I will too,
then tell me everyone is different.
Tell me you won't ever leave me,
then tell me you're leaving me.
