One More Lie

One moment bliss
The next, despair
This train wreck called
Life stills the air

The hope once strong
Has left my soul
Starving for answers
In pain, I mull

Life gets better
That's our lie.
All alone in my room
I yell and cry

The need for peace
Is nigh, but grim.
A search for truth
lies within.

The lullaby of lies
Rocks a baby to sleep
Yet those lies to truth
One day we will reap

Perhaps there is more
Than can truly be seen
Life lives reason.
What will mine mean?

Betrayal & An Unescapable Truth

The Ultimate Betrayal
That first night, Our first kiss
The first time, What joy and bliss
I hear your name And my heart cries,
Longing to see Your loving eyes
A moment late I arrive
You're lying there, Her by your side
Stopped in my tracks, My breath is gone
I never thought You'd be that one
To hurt my pride My senseless thoughts
How could you ever... I should have not
Walked in that day. It made me wail
You there with her - The ultimate betrayal.

An Unescapable Truth
A lone man
A simple plan -
Death.
A parents child
A man defiled -
Lost.
A friend to us
A lover at once -
Revenge.
A happy day
Of men who pray -
Gone.
A world of peace
Man's anger ceased -
Unknown.
An murderous death
To an innocent man -
Unforgivable.
The last chance of a world
Torn to pieces -
Christ.

I know these have completely different meanings, but I'd really appreciate if you told me what you think of them. I wanted to capture the moment in the piece, and as the writer, I want to know if the readers think I accomplished that. You can probably tell I'm in a very pessimestic mood today. Life sucks, and then we die. Yep, that's about how I've been feeling recently. At least it gives me a lot to write about... enjoy!
