Laying the Groundwork 2

"Hopeless devotion" sounds ever so fake; my heart is spellbound but my mind's not found. I wonder will the pangs of your heart ache when longing harangues and I'm not around? There is no honest gain to your crying; it is just a chain which does not restrain. How wide - the gap of insincere lying? It serves to unwrap memories of pain. This falling in love stuff is too easy; yes, to hang is rough and to bond is tough. I am asking, “How long will you love me?” Your forever may not be strong enough. Changing the paradigm, we can adjust. We have hills yet to climb; hope at its prime. We'll build love's foundation on truth and trust. Laying them as groundwork will take some time. written 6 June 2016 using these three song prompts A Time for Us by Andy Williams Hopelessly Devoted to You by Olivia Newton-John When I Fall in Love by Rick Astley for contest: Teppo Gren's Golden Oldies # 3 also entered in contest: John Hamilton's Your Best Rhyming Poem (2/1/17)
