Stream of Discovery

Sea of my dreams.
Puddle of pain.
Ocean of sorrow.
Waves of heartache.
River of salty tears.
Stream of discovery.

Dreams for what I hope for.
Pain for all the hurt.
Sorrow for what I feel.
Heartache for what you gave me.
Salty tears that I cried for you.
Discovery for what I found about myself.

I hope for a better life.
I hurt like you wouldn’t believe.
I feel like I was used.
You gave me nothing at all.
I cried for the emptiness.
I found out that I didn’t need you.

A better life like starting over.
You wouldn’t believe what change I'm going through.
Used, but not worn out.
Nothing-at-all ever felt so good.
Emptiness that I can fill with something better.
Needing you is over rated.
