Fool's Gold

You painted this breathtaking portrait that blinded me,

But I can see through the lies that you tried to speak. 

I thought that you would completely devote yourself,

I was wrong when I realized you had quite a good story to tell. 

As the days passed me by, you continued to prove you would do me wrong,

Now I am able to view where you do not belong. 

That is, by my side, since we have now become separated,

But no worries, I know that my heart has been liberated. 

It might take some time but you'll see where this went awry,

There will be no tears forming because I refuse to cry. 

And now I say farewell to someone who's heart has turned cold,

I am able to see the true feelings that has surrounded this fool's gold.

If Only

You go through times in your life where you get to thinking,

"If only I had done things that way, then my "life" boat wouldn't be sinking."

But you must always keep an important thought in your mind,

And that is that all you have experienced will become better over time.

It might not seem that circumstances are going to change,

You just have to believe that your mixed life puzzle will be rearranged. 

Now, if only these better times would come much faster,

You'd be able to go through any battle that comes your way & be crowned master. 

No need to worry yourself so much over the struggles you have encountered,

As time goes by, your thoughts & feelings will have matured.

To where you will absolutely know that all you have seen was worth the risk,

Because in the end of it all, you will acknowledge that no one is perfect.

Lost... In Thought

You ponder in your mind certain thoughts,

Hoping what you felt wasn't right and this isn't a war to be fought. 

There can be so much going on that you will wonder,

"Is there deceit happening to me from right under?"

You can try to believe that things won't be as bad as it seems,

But only time will tell if nightmares have formed from your dreams. 

Don't try to wonder if there is anything wrong with your views,

You will see the light at the end of the tunnel & the tension will defuse. 

As time goes by, all is going to work out in the way it should,

You have tried your best to make things turn the best way you could. 

No worries, at the end of this tossing & turning ride,

You will be able to embrace the brighter side of LIFE.
