You promised wonders, I believed,
And through the night, a silent judgment reeled,
Awaiting dawn, my soul bereft.
You laughed, then wept, at day's first gleam,
Consolements offered, a hollow stream,
Then left me broken, utterly bereft.
You promised wonders, I believed, bereft.
I was not one to miss the moon's embrace,
But your distraction, with a piercing grace,
Awakened me, and made me aware.
You promised wonders, I believed, bereft.
The tale of sorrow, a whispered art,
A story spun, that tore my heart,
Part faith, part doubt, a tangled snare.
You promised wonders, I believed, bereft.
