I Almost Believed

a poem by thenorm

And outside, where the River flows

Past my window,

A faint glimmer

Of Hope;

I once believed

That I...

The little white van

Runs far,

Runs fast.

And the lights

Always flicker.

Solemn words

Are only said

As I die

Inside.

I almost believed.

It’s almost over now.

The lying, the cheating.

You nearly

Sold my Soul.

Small words

Live in echoes.

I almost believed.

Damn you.

Damn me.

I almost believed.
