Frightened and Unsure
On the fringes of shattered dreams,
illusion feigns normality.
And mute echoes of silent screams
cast shadows on morality.
Falling off the edge of despair;
cascading tears pool on the ground.
Yet, unrequited love doesn't care
whether or not you stick around.
Passion's elation turns to grief;
as denial conceals the truth.
And your broken heart seeks relief
outside the innocence of youth.
Reality begins to bend;
for hearts traumatized by love's lure.
And wanting the nightmares to end,
you are left frightened and unsure.
