Time passes and tears dry
The heart learns to cope
The eyes learn to lie
And life grasps at hope.
Fears of pain still prevail
Loss kills all bravery
Love was set up to fail
Truth succumbs to slavery.
If all that passed was true
If all of this was meant to be
You left me, I forgave you
What more has time to see?
After a journey that led me back home,
I washed my hands of viruses
And chanced to see the mirror.
I noticed my shirt askew:
The fold of the collar was bent inward…
I thought about you.
If you were there,
You’d have turned it upright,
In the middle of the road.
I would have smiled;
You would have, too.
And neither would have to say
I love you.
Was it all a lie?
I cannot tell. I do not know.
He promised he’d stay;
But then I watched him go.
Every flower knows,
The bee will return;
The sun can tell
How the moon yearns;
The shore feels the tide,
It understands the sea;
But these metaphors
Everyone can not see.
I guess I am one who
Knows the heart not his head,
Yet they both lie now
Quite broken in this bed.
