A Better Fate
Unrequited love haunts
your fantasies and dreams.
And you are left struggling;
to stifle silent screams.
All hearts crave affection;
those denied die inside.
And like a seductress,
lust manipulates pride.
Time warps reality;
letting love drift off course.
And salvageable dreams;
get scuttled by remorse.
Explanations fail the
expectations of youth.
But hidden behind tears;
lies the elusive truth.
You feel inadequate;
unsure if you can cope.
For: life is rife with fears
that can overwhelm hope.
Once stung by rejection;
love oft morphs into hate.
But, in time, you'll forget;
and chase a better fate.
