Realization

I reached for you,

But you were no longer there,

I turned around,

And realized you didn't care.

I opened my eyes,

And saw the truth in your lies,

I finally woke up,

And realized it was just a disguise.

But it was lost in my cry of pain,

I tried to get up,

But realization knocked me down again.

I tried to touch you,

But cruel reality hit me instead,

I finally understood,

That what we once had, was now dead…
