Cynical Hearts
Realizing innocence
lies somewhere, lost to the past.
Fantasy dreams quickly fade,
although youth wishes they'd last.
Your forever memories
begin to merge and digress.
And though replayed countless times,
they're but shadows; nonetheless.
Assumptions and presumptions,
life's beliefs go unexplored.
And questions and misgivings
are oft discreetly ignored.
Cynical hearts batter love
despite its fragility.
And attempt to control it,
with rules of fidelity.
And yet, hope inspires lovers;
to create a bond of trust.
And encourages closeness
outside the pleasures of lust.
