Sweetness

It’s so easy to get lulled
Into a false sense of peace
But then the rug gets pulled
And you realize that nothing
Was ever safe at all, and you
Have to deal with the mess

It’s so hard to clean up, to
Tell yourself that everything’s
Going to be alright when you
No longer believe in anything
When you stare at the broken
Pieces and wonder what’s next

Eventually, this feeling fades
But you never forget, you brace
And wait for the next crash, and
Forget to enjoy the present moments
That can be so sweet to experience
Before you know how fragile they are

Time to stop and remember that you

Used to have fun, used to laugh and
Play and live each moment like it counts
Not like you’re waiting for the next hit
Learn to love your life again, all the more
Because it is so fragile and sweet
