Dust in the wind
That’s what his promises were,
Dust in the wind.
Blowing across the desert of his emotions
Or the lush green valleys of mine
The sweet lies just blew across the landscape
Obscuring the truth with a dull brown pall.
Anxiously I awaited them.
Passionately I believed them.
Love blinded me to the truth.
Promises were just pretty lies
Constructed of mud,
Dried into sand from the void of his heart
And then, in the final moments,
Blown far and wide,
Disintegrated into a million billion tiny bits.
My heart withstood the assault.
Though it was worn to the core,
It has healed.
No more pretty lies….

I love when you share poetry because I get to read lines like these:
“The sweet lies just blew across the landscape
Obscuring the truth with a dull brown pall.
Anxiously I awaited them.
Passionately I believed them.”
Daily healing, you’re amazing me.
