Trying So Hard

Trying so hard,
Yet left with nothing.
Hearts seem warm,
Then turn out bluffing.

Trying so hard,
When faith has failed.
Eyes were full,
But time prevailed.

Trying so hard,
It's plain to see,
That hearts are not
What they seem to be.

Trying so hard,
To find a heart
That will hold me close,
From the start.

Mists

In a time of confusion,

With mists of illusion,

I’m lost in a cloud of doubt.

Unsure of what to feel,

Unsure if any of it is real,

Living a life that’s inside-out.

My heart is confused,

Torn and abused,

But still holding on.

It may be naïve,

But I do still believe,

That there is hope of a coming dawn.

Waiting for an eternity,

In a haze of uncertainty,

I see you through the clouds.

We all know that love is not a game,

But the question still remains the same:

Can you see me through the shrouds?
