Confused Bliss........

Confused Bliss....... Music plays constantly in the background Bringing along with it, comfort, release A false sense of security, invisible arms to cradle and protect From the world around, the intrusion of outside and unwanted forces A lull is experienced in the air that surrounds Like the calm before a storm, everything is silent, still Life passing by in a slow, steady haze One moment colliding with the next, until melded into one The recipient of one to many knocks to the gut Sits to one side, listening, quietly observing all present Laughing silently to herself as she notices the same errors made by others As were once made by herself, although she was forewarned The laughter heard, is not aimed at those Experiencing the fall out of these transgressions But at the bitter sweet irony dished out by fate, destiny, hope Call this entity by which ever name you choose But do not call it happiness, love nor contentment In her presence, she will cynically smirk, Knowing that life silently mocks and taunts her Waiting with a sick, twisted glee to knock her down Oh yes, how sweet life is, smirking with it's deceptive glare Happiness promised, yet angst constantly dealt Love craved, yet left empty, to want and yearn Hollow with the knowledge that the promised will never again be felt
