Cycles Of Love Hate
Caught up in cycles of love-hate
she dons a smile to hide her hurt.
Yet, those conflicting emotions
lead to inevitable pain.
In her fantasies, she's happy;
though that happiness is fleeting.
For in her world of make-believe,
she conjures hope from denial.
Jealousy lurks in the shadows;
taunting her devastated heart.
For whenever she's feeling blue;
dreams dwell on melancholy thoughts.
Youth's impenetrable shield failed
to guard her vulnerable heart.
And as lies obstructed the truth,
illusions fueled delusions.
Smitten by unrequited love,
fantasy shuns reality.
And she teeters upon the edge
of despair and insanity.
