You weren’t there for me.

You said that you loved my smile,

How you lied to me.

You only wanted what lied

Behind the wall of sorrow.

We go through life each day

expecting something bigger,

something better,

thinking life owes us a grand reward for existence.



Truth is,

we are in debt to life,

in gratitude for the air we breathe,

but we take it all for granted.



How shallow will humankind sink

before we not only hit

rock bottom,

but burrow our way though the core?
