Real

Where am I going
I see no end
To my pain and suffering

Is it really better
To have loved and lost
Than to have never loved at all

My world came crashing down
All that I had ever known
Was not real

You earned my trust
You were my best friend
You were not real

I trusted you with everything
You were my everything
But things were not as they seemed

That one December night
What began as a game
I wanted to be so much more

Avoiding the pain,
I shall live in the shadowlands
Hidden from harm's reach

Will I ever love again?
