fall: suddenly

Suddenly,
the clouds came to obscure you from me.
Suddenly,
the moon seems to shine less brightly.
Suddenly.

Suddenly,
the view I had of you was blurry
Suddenly,
the things I knew became hard to see.
Suddenly.

And without me wanting to leave,
I can't say I still believe.
Sometimes life betrays you to
the things you didn't need.

Suddenly,
I want to be over this memory.
Suddenly,
I knew I was mistaken to dream.
Suddenly.

And without me wanting to leave,
I can't say I still believe.
Sometimes love betrays you to
the ones you couldn't read.

This is perhaps not really writing about what I am feeling, but a combination of emotions that seem to arise when problems collide. Last night I had a conversation which was particularly sobering. The grass always seems greener on the other side, and it really didn't matter what the fence was. But that expression seems to always indicate a flaw in the reasoning or jealousy being displayed. I think that's not true. Maybe life is such that everything else will always seem better because it really is. Only problem is that once we get to where we thought we wanted to go, things change and we're stucking running towards some distant goal again. Who knows? But this writing had little to do with the content of said conversation, but simply the situation.
