Doubt inflicts a pain lonely hearts bear,
facing truths you wish would disappear.
You realize fate isn't always fair,
dredging up memories steeped in fear.

Rejection hijacks feelings of hope,
navigating shallows of darkness.
And dreams morph into a safety rope,
as fantasies embellish starkness.

Paper dreams all too easily tear;
caught in life's whirlwind of push and shove.
And lies conceal a lustful affair;
that no longer is tethered to love.

Find your happy place, pat dry your tears;
there's no need to cry; dreams can come true.
Love's not as veiled as it first appears,
trust in yourself; start looking anew.

You have woven the fragility of human emotions into your work masterfully as always Emile. Human love and feelings are too sensitive to be treated clumsily. You last two verses give the answer like ointment to heal the wound. A Big 7 my friend ... Maria

This is AMAZING! I love it Emile, it touches me at a time when I needed to read something like this. Though not in the ring of love, but more in the ring of friendship.. I've found hardships that this would see me through. It was wrote for you, but somehow I feel I was meant to see it. God bless. 7 only because I can't rate higher.

Good Morning Emile. This is so eloquently and beautifully stated and expressed. May we remember your words of inspiration and words of worth. Honestly. This entry is whole and should be considered as whole but if you take each stanza one by one everything has a message. Wonderful work in its entirety. Have a wonderful day.
