lesson

There was a hope for you

that you fed

with all of of the things you said

illusions you led

me to believe in

playing upon the hunger

of starvation I felt

and could not only the desperate

kind

be stupid enough

to believe all of these lies?

What do I truly know of love?

There was a time i should have

remained silent

I realised today as I wept

how I kept the whole thing going

each time i let myself be hooked

but there is no way to know

the reality of hard lessons we can only

find the way to

through trying

failing

and falling

reality will be the ground

that breaks our fall

and we must let the shattering

blow us open

if we truly wish to grow

we must not shrink from

the lesson
