Clueless
I thought love was a shelter of comfort
Where I could be safe from all its pain
But now it just adds to my troubles
It has become something to hide from
No longer that which my heart once sought
In its place I’ve found malice and discontent
Pushed aside like an unwanted meal
No more useful then yesterdays newspaper
The emptiness I feel inside grows broader
If I’m not careful it will cause me to become bitter
No longer can I afford to be optimistic
I understand that love cares not for fools
Try has I may I can’t see where It went wrong
Maybe it was not I but love that went awry
Its beauty no longer sustained by its essence
I see now just how different things are
Where I once loved more then life itself
Now I could care less for its needs or wants
Yet still I cling to the notion that it was real
For at this moment here and now it’s all I have
How can you look for the silver lining in a cloud?
When it is dark, stormy and turbulent
Much like the memories of days gone by
I’m sure that somewhere loves shines on someone
Has for me my heart now rests in its shadows
There to remain so that the hurt may subside
But we all know the pain never goes away
How often do we kid ourselves to believe it will?
Much to our dismay we remain ……Clueless
