Love Poem: Between Happiness and Heartache

Between Happiness and Heartache

Between happiness and heartache
We search for higher ground
As we travel the peaks and valleys
Trying to save the love we've found

Build bridges over troubled waters
Carelessly burning a few
Following our map of dreams
Rest on ridges to enjoy the view

We try to avoid the slippery slopes
But occasionally roll the dice
Betting our fears and chancing our hope
Not to cover the same ground twice

We use our conscience, for a compass
Our hearts for compromise
If we share a bond of mutual trust
In the end our love will survive
