Somewhere

by Janet Anderson

Somewhere,
between the promises and truth,
lie the tearless cries,
of those who stole our youth.

Somewhere,
between the love and lust,
lie the haunting memories,
of those who broke our trust.

Somewhere,
between the hope and fate,
lie the shallow souls,
of those who made us hate.

Somewhere,
between the joy and sorrow,
lie the long-forgotten dreams,
of those who vanished with tomorrow.

Somewhere,
between all the uncertainty
was a good heart
that you could not see.

Somewhere,
between the lies and pretence
lay the battered heart
of a trusting friend

Somewhere,
out there, new opportunities
and challenges await.
