Losing love before love starts, confusion exacts a toll. And in freshly broken hearts, delusion corrupts the soul. Gathering clouds sense your mood, crying misty drops of rain. And suddenly, a storm's brewed, as they weep for all your pain. When the sun won't share its light, your spirit struggles to cope. And haunts the shadows of night, where counterfeit smiles sell hope. Fear and guilt dominate dreams when love is nowhere in sight. And fueling nightmare screams; depression turns off the light. Memories add little weight to balance the scales of truth. For a heart broken by fate, lost the innocence of youth.

A sad reality Emile. Your imagery is divine. With love the heart is always at risk of being broken. Beautiful! ; )
