Crystals Cut Like Glass

Eyes glisten like crystals on newly born snow
As it gently envelops our world.
God’s perfect cover  –
Disguising deceitful delight.

My mind is preparing my troubled heart -
Crystals hid more than I knew. 
Gullible child, still hoping each day
To return to the time things were new. 

Smiles are frequent but hardly sincere
Like promises etched into sand.
Grandiose dreams share whispers and sighs
Unaware of the heartache at hand.

She thinks they’re invincible; stronger together
A King - his Queen by his side -
Meld into each other; a new soul of one?
Always losing herself to abide.

Awestruck by gentle kindness and hope –
Light-hearted banter begins.
Adventure begs as the sun finds it’s rest
Blind faith in the physical wins.

My mind is preparing my troubled heart -
Crystals hid more than I knew. 
Gullible child, still hoping each day
To return to the time things were new. 

Beating hearts race, feel the fire ignite
Somewhat restrained interactions.
The rhythm and pattern repeat without change
Unrelenting avoidance of passions.

Pleasure and happiness don’t always meet.
Love and desire divide.
Rely on the plot twist to freshen the air,
While all remains dormant inside.

No anger, resentment, frustration at best
Will linger if parting as friends.
Life creates stark understandings -
With wisdom to tie up loose ends.

My mind is preparing my troubled heart -
Crystals hid more than I knew. 
Gullible child, still hoping each day
To return to the time things were new. 

Lonely? Bored or just blatantly selfish? 
You knew how I felt all along. 
Then again, I knew the truth just as well
Always rationalizing all that felt wrong. 

Waiting, trying, waiting again, 
Only heartache returns. 
Attempting to smile through frustrated tears 
Sunshine is all that still burns.

My mind is avoiding my troubled heart -
Crystals hid all that I knew. 
Gullible child, still waiting each day...
Yet I'm fully aware - this is you.
