A bright,white light
Shines on my face.

I squint, it's blinding me.
A voice from my left, deep and strong
"Come to my side. I'll show you the way."

I peer into the blackness, ominous, red.
Where should I go? What should I do?

I hesitantly take a step towards the inferno,
and hear evil cackling.

Now, a voice to my right, heavenly,
Awe-inspiring.
"Do not go to him. you will get lost.
You will be alone."

"But the light. The light," I protest. An answer.
"Open your eyes.You will see."
I opened my eyes and saw.

Your lies are tiring,
Your excuses bore me.

When will they stop?

Forgiveness comes after
The faults are acknowledged.
When will you be forgiven?

Excitement rising in my chest,
Adrenaline pumping through me.....

But it wasn't what I expected.

You stole my heart through sympathy,
I gave you my attention.
But your love was unrealistic,
As was what we had.

You gave me your love,
But you didn't truly love me.
We went too fast and went too far.
Now there's never going back.

On the trail of life and love,
There's countless ups and downs.

Life is lived and love is lost
But someone is always there for you.

Someone who's your friend
And cares about you.
Someone you know like the back of your hand.

Someone who shares your love for things
And your views on life.
