Fears Resurface
Anger injects hurt with its sting,
piercing a heart trying to cope.
And reality starts to slip,
drifting with no anchor of hope.
As trust wanes, lies intensify,
snagged on the edge of deceit.
And innocence is compromised
for a sense of feeling complete.
It's painful to face rejection,
summoning all your strength of will.
For love's illusion gets exposed,
purging dreams that may linger still.
Fueled by fear, doubts resurface,
as loneliness tears you apart.
Emotions reach a fevered pitch,
and threaten to destroy your heart.
There are no shortcuts past heartaches,
no magic spell or quick undo.
And dreams drown in a sea of tears,
on learning, love's abandoned you.
