But That Was Then, and This is Now

I smile at your presents

The touch of your hand brings warmth and light

Turning my cheeks rosy with delight.

The way the wind pulls your hair back,

Makes everything feel okay


But that was then, and this is now.

Now that I know the truths and the lies.

That smile that once appeared on my face is now filled with dread

The way you use to make me feel warmth is now only darkness.

Now I know truly, what your intentions were.

This piece was made after a friendship I thought that would last a lifetime. Soon turned sour and bitter.
