Delusion
Standing in the road
Two paths before me
The signs clear
Like the changing of seasons
One bringing pain
The other is known
painful still
for various reasons
Words of beauty
Have the ring of truth
Fall to the wayside
When put to the test
They hold no substance
Without actions
The reality is
They are like all the rest
The clock is ticking
Time has told
Sadness dwells
Truth has been revealed
No comfort to be had
No friend at my side
There is nothing
No safety to shield
My foot to the path
Which way to go
The words have dried up
The beauty is dead
Sadness enfolds
For the path of old
Understanding has dawned
It was only in my head
