Poetry ~Eclipse (ode to recklessness)~

Eclipse (ode to recklessness)

Someone spilled the truth to me
I listened and could recognize
my happiness turning to grief
and disbelief coming to my eyes

I haven't called for the truth
but it comes to me with pain
to calm me first with secrecy
then burn me with its flame

The creeping feeling of unawareness
escaped my mind tonight
It sneaked away when I wasn't looking
and now it's out of reach and sight

So this is to be my destiny
this life that haunts me down
My world is falling while my anger and hate
smile and watch me drown

Someone spilled the truth tonight
and eclipsed my morning sun
My foolishness turned to experience
as a new day of my life begun
