Naiveté
He was a fool
And she was blind.
Yet to them
It was perfect.
They sang songs
Whispered prayers.
Stars lit the countless nights
Spent believing:
All was golden
Nothing could spoil.
But
They were wrong.
The dauntless dream shattered
The faultless fantasy was flawed.
Tears spilled
Hearts pleaded,
Why?
Here was a thing
That had been right.
Now the music was stopped
The songbirds fell silent.
Sorrow filled
All the space of their minds
And love
Was still in their hearts.
