Lakes
Lakes
It's funny how long it took me,
To unravel myself.
Crawling through twenty years
Of this personal hell.
Now my hands are bloody
And my knees all bruised;
My body shook with silent sobs
As I stood by the lake to end it all.
I lived for those who didn't care
And turned my back on those who did.
Now it's too late to turn back time
And fix the past.
I've found poetry as my sole escape
To voice my broken thoughts.
A reflection of the hell I faced
An outlet to let out a silent cry.
It portrays the emptiness of lost love,
The dying hope of a faithful lover.
A journey that started with flashes of roses,
And led me to thorns unexpected.
