Idle Words Forsake Me

Disillusioned rainbows dance among the clouds,
Painting the sky into a frown.
Happiness is a fairy tale,
Scarring the minds of innocents who actually believe it exists.
Love is just a role we play.

Now the curtain has been drawn,
The lines long since forgotten.
The scenery has changed
And so have you.
Exit stage left, this is goodbye.

Tomorrow I'll wake up to an empty bed,
Write another sad poem and pretend I'm still breathing.
But death looks pretty wearing my face.

So yes, happiness is an illusion.
But I looked into his eyes once, then he blinked.
And the spell was broken.....
So was I.
