True Love Vs Self-Delirium

When the balloon of laughter expands to its peak And repels its inherent fears far When competition seems to be extinct And a man thinks he’s found his love When a man’s heart is totally shielded From the arrows of heartbreak He swims in unrelenting delirium Of a never-ending love When the sunset seems to fade And the sun rises for another man When my angel’s eyes are open To multifarious potential lovers When I realize my lady is pretending As if I am all her heart can take But I see her smile that smile To another man I loathe I keep the cool and take watch When my fear is finally evident And my lady is in another man’s arms When my heart is burning ablaze With dark and bitter jealousy When my angel is now the demon Who put my life in asunder I finally allow the elements To dictate the end of a once true love My conscience now dances in gladness Of a truth once warned The hard and bitter truth That there is no such thing As true love but self-delirium!
