Caustically Came the Cruelty

caustcallycame th cruelt

It started with an up and ended with a down
It began with a smile and ended with a frown
The up was my finding love at last
The down was her becoming part of my past

She smiled
I began smiling
I was beguiled
because she was beguiling 
Like a little child on Christmas morning
When doves and daydreams are dawning
And magic is in the air
With ribbons and flair in a youth’s fair hair
Love had found me in a special place
Where hearts and thoughts begin to race
And fantasies take flight with a lift from delight
And even the darkness of night seems bright
But fantasies often fade in the shadow of sorrow
When the teeth of today bite the rear end of tomorrow

It began with happiness but ended in tears
It started with hope but finished with fears
The fear of forever without the love of my dreams
Because love isn’t always so wondrous as it seems
