Love's Magic
Pain will inevitably begin
when releasing feelings held within.
For pride rebuffs attempts to amend
for the sins you stubbornly defend.
In a world of shakers and takers,
trickery breeds liars and fakers.
And flightless Angels, clipped of their wings,
attract trouble, and the tears it brings.
You insist that you're not like the rest,
yet confronting love, you fail its test.
And doubt devastates you with despair;
letting uncertainty foul the air.
Rife with both flattery and deceit,
memories are often bittersweet.
And you react to the hurt you bear,
by bending the truth: beyond repair.
Fears that fester in shadow and dream,
constantly prey on low self-esteem.
And in truth, there's nothing more tragic;
than a heart, deprived of love's magic.
