A Better Fate

Unrequited love haunts both fantasies and dreams. And you are left struggling to stifle silent screams. All hearts crave affection; those denied die inside. And like a seductress, lust manipulates pride. Hope warps reality, letting love drift off course. And salvageable dreams get scuttled by remorse. Explanations fail the expectations of youth. And yet, behind false smiles lies the elusive truth. You feel inadequate, unsure if you can cope. And break down into tears that oft overwhelm hope. When facing rejection, love can morph into hate. But, in time, you'll forget; and chase a better fate.
