Recognize Reality

Sometimes love feels like a game that's devoid of any rules. And unsure of what to do, you're obliged to play with fools. Trust is but an illusion; fraught with insincerity. For life's broken promises tend to obscure clarity. Loneliness rallies to hope; fearful of what fate may hold. And you keep spilling warm tears over a heart that's gone cold. Recognize reality; don't be misled by a kiss. And clear your path of half-truths; to find happiness and bliss. Though it hurts to walk away, it's your first step of many. Yet, that pain will fade in time; and soon, there won't be any.
