The Heart's Hesitation
Love and lust often appear the same,
fueling the heart's hesitation.
And eating away, trust's foundation:
acid tears extinguish passion's flame.
An emotional bumper car ride:
life has you stymied and befuddled.
And reality leaves you muddled:
for fate doesn't seem to be on your side.
With every light, a shadow is cast
that tests the resiliency of hope.
And sliding down a slippery slope:
you're fearful, feelings of love won't last.
A poor substitute touted by youth:
lust clings to the pleasures of the flesh.
And feelings sour, while love remains fresh:
that's the heart's inescapable truth.
