The Red Pill

I thought it was a love affair

But it wasn’t really there

So many experience this despair

Thinking someone actually cares,

So much is meant by a wayward glance

Caught you living in a trance

Got caught in a hectic dance

They mistook for romance,

Walking down this twisted trail

As all hope seems to fail

A warm heart now as cold as a winter’s gale

You were once beautiful now you look so frail,

On this forbidden morning

I’m sleepless and yawning

I need an angel to sing if anything

Perhaps just one more passionate fling,

I summoned just enough will

To take the red pill

Left all my sorrow on the windowsill

Then I lay next to the corpse to get my fill,

There seems no end in sight

To which I can finally end my plight

Looking forward to another sleepless night

Nothing in this world seems right,

Forgive me if I complain

I fell out of the fast lane

Overwhelmed by the strain

For now just trying to remain.
