Fears Resurface
Betrayal injects hurt with its sting,
piercing a heart struggling to cope.
And reality starts to slip,
drifting with no anchor of hope.
As trust wanes, lies intensify,
snagged on the edge of deceit.
And innocence is compromised;
for a sense of feeling complete.
It's painful to face rejection,
summoning all your strength of will.
For love's illusion gets exposed;
purging dreams that may linger still.
Fueled by fear, doubts resurface,
as loneliness tears you apart.
Emotions reach a fevered pitch;
threatening to destroy your heart.
There's no shortcut past heartaches;
no magic spell or quick undo.
And dreams drown in a sea of tears;
feeling love has abandoned you.
