A glimpse of happiness

Thy eyes were fixed on his beautiful face

Thou asked me the question I had feared

Thou went numb and my heart began to race

The moment actually became weird


It was all just a glimpse of happiness

The rainbow finally came to an end

No carriage awaited thou in this mess

I did not know what the devil would send


I didn’t want to tell him my feelings

I was always told that love was a lie

The relationship was not worth healing

Thou walked away without saying goodbye


I never felt a love like this before

As thy heart went running out of the door
