Lessons Learned

What is the lesson here to learn..?

What kind of lesson makes you burn

In a fire so hungry that it consumes all

And yet have nothing to break your fall

What kind of lesson will make you see?

That there's no such thing as 'meant to be'

When you're thrown in pits of deep despair

And left to die within, while you gasp for air

What kind of lesson would make you cry?

While you're left to ponder the reason why

That the heavens above seem to show to you 

many things that are false, many things so untrue

What kind of lesson would bring such pain?

Leave you wondering if you have gone insane

Seeing signs and synchronicity in every which way

While your edges and sanity start to fray

What kind of lesson would disappoint so?

And in typical fashion, deliver a blow

So hard and so poignant, direct to your gut

you collapse to the ground & left wondering what..

the lessons that seem to be coming your way

To show you how wrong you have been every day

Cuz it never is how you have seemed to believe

And the angels and guides only seem to deceive

So, take all your lessons away from me now

I don't even know the who and the how

Of what I did think and feel deep in my soul

And the agony has by now taken its toll

So, finality comes to a close now at last

And complete is the lesson of the future & past

I have learned not to ever believe, not to trust

And that magic is nothing but a mere handful of dust... 

Fin.
