I offered you the moon and stars,
you took the sun instead
Your darkness preyed, all love waylaid,
my dreams and wishes dead
Beyond all hope, with stolen light,
my fear you then unmasked
And pulled a curtain across my heart,
—the future now my past
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
Falsehoods You Endear
My world is different, my world is foreign,
your words do then remind
My vision captive, my soul unpledged,
the music solely mine
Never lonely, but then alone,
my solitude you fear
As strangers swarm around your doubt,
whose falsehoods you endear
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
Unto End
True to the Muse, the words instill,
each one a trusted friend
Her voice embedded in my soul,
—beginning unto end
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2017)
