Struggling To Cope
Deceit injects hurt with its sting,
piercing a heart struggling to cope.
And reality starts to slip,
adrift with no anchor of Hope.
As trust wanes, lies proliferate:
snagged on the edge of deceit.
And innocence gets compromised;
for a sense of feeling complete.
It is hard to face betrayal:
summoning all your strength of will.
For love's illusion gets exposed;
purging dreams that may linger still.
Fueled by fear, doubts resurface,
threatening to destroy your heart.
And emotions intensify;
as memories tear you apart.
There's no shortcut past heartaches,
no magic spell, or quick undo.
And you drown in a sea of tears:
thinking love has abandoned you.
Yet love has never left your heart:
like a sponge, it absorbs your tears.
And Hope offers you a fresh start,
free of past frustrations and fears.
