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.
