Life is cruel

Life dangles the promise of joy
of all that can be,
It teases and tempts
giving a reason to pursue it,
It offers up a glimpse
of heaven and nirvana,
It flashes up moments
that shine like the sun,
It tickles the fancy
with the hope of ecstasy,
It entices the mind
with dreams and ambitions,
It moves you emotions
that can not be equaled,
It lures you with visions
of splendor and peace

Life rips them apart
the promise and hope,
It crushes them flat
the heaven and nirvana,
It strips them away
the moments of joy,
It takes them with malice
the dreams and ambitions,
It blinds them with spite
the splendor and peace,
It denies them the light,
and snuffs out the sun

They were never there
a mirage all along,
They never existed
a trick of the mind,
They seem so real
yet never realized,
They appear within reach
but never attainable,
They are just a lie
meant to destroy

Life wins again
the light fades away,
The darkness envelops
what's left of the heart.
