A Known Feeling Poem by Christopher Soto

When sadness turns to anger
Love turns into hate
The things that you once held so close
Now seem to be a waste.

You take back words and feelings
Regret emotional states
As the truth seeps outs and it all adds up
It becomes an awful fate.

Deception once was painted true
And grass was green, and skies were blue
But as it's melted like wax on fire
It forms a puddle of bad desires.

And life goes on, with sorrow at heart
And you're somehow glad, that it hurts so bad
For you are now wiser and stronger than before
And no one else will walk through that door.
