The disappointment of it
settles into my bones
a familiar ache
which leaves my heart
barely beating
loath to continue it’s syncopated dance
to the melody of hope
which is now silenced
How quickly and cruelly
some things are taken from us
Knowledge forced
though not desired
I now see the illusionist’s trick
Self deception
Brilliant, as usual!
Thank you!
