The Tree Of Words.

I used to...

I USED TO...

I used to think the wind was nature's way of soothing pain,

Till I heard millions were killed in a hurricane.

I used to think the rain washed away impurities and gloom,

Till I heard thousands died in a rainstorm.

I used to think the sun prevented the world from contamination,

Till I heard hundreds in the deserts were killed by dehydration.

I used to think that people smiling meant the world was full of happiness,

Till I learnt smiles were just masks to hide secrets and sadness.

I used to think that we were in love,

Till I learnt we never fell in love or we just fell out of love.

I used to think promises were made to NOT be broken,

Till you lied and cheated your way into my heart and left me broken.
