the musings of Erin O'Reilly

EO's Poetry

 
The Cynic / The Dreamer
© 2000 by eo
The cynic knew,
As the dreamer began to stir,
Love is never true.
The dreamer wanted to dance.
The cynic knew,
Never take a chance.
The dreamer thought life is just.
The cynic knew,
Never trust.
The dreamer offered proof.
The cynic knew,
There was no truth.
The dreamers’ eyes start to see.
The cynic knew,
Nothing is as it seems to be.
The dreamers’ heart spoke.
The cynic knew,
Hearts only broke.
It was only a game from the start.
The cynic knew,
Never offer your heart.
The cynic knew,
The dreamer refused to see
Love is never true.
