Open Your Heart

Love inflicts a pain that's hard to bear, facing truths you wish would disappear. And yet, you realize fate doesn't care, dredging up memories steeped in fear. The sting of rejection hijacks hope lost amidst the shadows of darkness. And dreams slide down a slippery slope as empty lies embellish starkness. Fragile feelings and paper dreams tear, locked in a cycle of push and shove. For fear conceals a failing affair that’s fueled by unrequited love. Find your happy place and dry those tears, there's no use crying; try something new. For life's not as bleak as it appears, open your heart, and let hope guide you. (Quatrain) 5/8/2017
