Cycle of Love Hate
Caught in a cycle of love-hate
she wears a smile to hide her hurt.
And yet, all those sad emotions
lead to inevitable pain.
In her fantasies, she's happy,
although such feelings are fleeting.
For in her world of make-believe
she conjures hope from denial.
Misery lurks in the shadows
cast by a devastated heart.
And when she's feeling sorta blue,
dreams dwell on melancholy thoughts.
Youth's impenetrable shield failed
to guard her vulnerable heart.
And as lies obstructed the truth,
illusions fueled delusions.
Blinded by unrequited love,
fantasy shuns reality.
And she teeters upon the edge,
of despair and insanity.
