Impossible To Pin Down
The agony of lost love pierces the heart,
and contorts the soul.
Betrayal severs forever-bonds,
draining the heart of hope, and the soul of faith.
You call upon feelings stored in memory;
to carry you through this ordeal.
For love and hate hold opposite
sides of the same coin:
and fate chooses the outcome, despite expectations.
You feed your ego and pride when we're young,
freshly weaned off innocence.
And feel you know everything;
until youth's confidence eventually crumbles.
Falling in and out of love,
drains your hopeful heart, tear by tear
as sadness surges from your core:
melding with reality in quiet acceptance.
In a fog of deceit: you laugh and cry, simultaneously!
Life's a conundrum; it seems receptive to your wants:
yet non-responsive to your needs.
Happiness is elusive; doubts haunt its fringes:
but so too do hope and love!
A spontaneous eruption of feelings
that doesn't respect rules and conditions;
love is impossible to pin down:
for it seldom adheres to logic or any accepted norms.
