The road may be paved, 

the intentions 

may be well intended, 

but a promise 

broken, 

can never be repaired. 

Hopes dashed, 

time wasted, 

but not all in vain. 

Lessons needed to be learned, 

eyes needed to be 

opened, 

to what is real and what 

is created to 

blind one to what is real. 

The man in front of you

is not who he seems. 

Sent to distract you from 

the one you need. 

Sent to keep a part 

what God want's together. 

As humans get in the way, 

God's plan stands the test of time 

and human error. 

Don't waste your tears on the 

man who's not real. 

Don't waste your time on 

the girl who lies. 

Stand firm, 

stand strong 

stand your ground. 

Time Will Tell

There are moments 

in life, 

where you have a choice 

to make. 

A split second decision 

that can change 

the course 

of a plan well made. 

You open a door, 

to a face, oh-so-familiar, 

and for a moment

a smile, 

and then hesitation. 

That split second decision

made and 

she lets him in. 

The turmoil inside 

he is unaware. 

Something 

she will never 

admit out loud

and a denial she 

keeps even with herself. 

He knows 

she will be there 

no matter what the cost 

to herself. 

He knows, 

even if he doesn't realize, 

he has her wrapped around 

his finger. 

It took some time, 

once upon a time, 

to put him 

away from her mind, 

only now 

to see his face and hear 

his voice. 

Time will show

her what 

she knows deep inside. 

She should keep

hidden and locked away 

the one thing 

he has 

but has no clue. 

Time will show her 

how 

he will never be 

the man 

she wishes him to be. 

Time will make her 

realize, how she should 

have 

locked the door and 

kept her 

heart intact.
