Bittersweet Surrender
Love is cruel, a heartless game
A punishment for minds unwell, a flame
That burns with fervor, yet brings despair
A bittersweet reminder of love's cruel snare
It taunts and teases, a merciless delight
A rollercoaster of emotions, day and night
It lifts us high, only to let us fall
A never-ending cycle, beyond recall
Love is cruel, a test of will
A trial by fire, that only the strongest still
Can endure the pain, the heartache and woe
And emerge scarred, yet wiser, with a heart that glows
But still we seek it, this cruel mistress true
For in her arms, we find a love anew
A love that's fierce, yet fleeting as the wind
A love that's cruel, yet oh, so hard to leave behind
So let us embrace this cruel love we share
And cherish every moment, though it's hard to bear
For in its depths, we'll find a strange, perverse peace
A love that's cruel, yet forever will release.
