Big City, Broken Hearts
Life Lessons
Hiding the truth
Disguising the lies
Porcelain skin,
baby blue eyes
*
Transparent Chameleons
A cruel surprise
Chances are thin
When roads lead to goodbye
*
The weather has turned
On the breeze is a change
When the bridges are burning
The guilty quickly change lanes
*
Can’t see the sky
For the forest of trees
Every reason to try
End up back on my knees
*
Excuses are spoken
Responses delayed
Promises broken
The damage displayed
*
Lights of lace flicker, dotting the bay
As the skyline begs to be seen
Nightlife shows off and shows up the day
Specks of stars hide somewhere, between.
*
Sunsets like fireworks, set on display
Banal and sienna traced clouds
Regret- are the words that you chose to say
When you first said them aloud
*
Memories call like sirens
Screaming late, into the night
Warnings are alarming
When you’re giving up the fight
*
As daylight re-awakens
All the shadows hurry away
The city’s midnight exploitation
In a broken-hearted masquerade

Sad, yet beautifully written. Well done, as always
When the expediency & excitement of the night give way to the light of day, exposing & dispelling every illusion.
