Consolation

Though you have doubts
what "they" say’s true,
it’s what one spouts
to console you.
Maybe not what
you wanted, but
well-meant intent.

The Aftermath

One too many
That’s what I gave
Not that any

So now I’m here
hiding my fear
behind a blind

A rainbow arched
above the skies
gleamed as truth marched
against more lies
Meant to portend
there'd be an end
for love is love
