Frightened and Unsure

On the fringes of shattered dreams, illusion feigns normality. And mute echoes of silent screams, cast shadows on morality. Falling off the edge of despair, cascading tears pool on the ground. Yet unrequited love doesn't care whether or not you stick around. Passion's elation turns to grief as denial conceals the truth. And your broken heart seeks relief, outside the innocence of youth. Reality begins to bend, leaving you frightened and unsure. And yet, you don't want hope to end, feeling hypnotized by love's lure. (Quatrain) 3/30/2015

Powerful with lines such as "for hearts traumatized by love’s lure. And wanting the nightmares to end" Well done, Emile.

Yes, I absolutely agree with this very well reasoned write, Emile. "Reality begins to bend for hearts traumatized by love's lure". Rebound lust and infatuation can lead to very painful consequences; but not always, thankfully. There is grace! Hugs, Kimberly
