A Moment of Nothing

A moment shared that seemed to last forever,

When in truth it lasted only a second.

A spark never felt before, that gave hope,

Hope for something greater, something bigger.

Something that would come down the road,

And brighten the darkness surrounding.

A blanket of anger, of sadness,

Of fear, rejection and regret.

Uncertainty of the future that controls,

Actions determine the outcome.

Cut down like a tree,

Split and crushed, turned into mulch,

The remains only help others grow.

Never lived a day, until I met you,

Everything seemed right, perfect.

Just wanted to live my life,

Make things right with you.

Your actions speak clearly,

I’m just a pawn in your game.

With no words I realize,

Like that tree, I was only born to die.

Our moment seemed to last forever,

It turned out being a moment of nothing…
