Life is tough; pain is a part of it;
but so too is love; balance is met.
Yet the scale tips, according to how
you measure the weight of each tear wept.
Submissive to your reality;
you suffer needlessly every night.
For fear is but a phantom shadow;
once exposed, it quickly fades from sight.
Hope realigns confused, scattered thoughts;
defeating doubt so trust can survive.
And imbues your heart with its magic;
keeping daydreams secretly alive.
Sadness suffered in the name of love;
infiltrates places the heart protects.
And a world of sensations awaits;
with unavoidable side effects.
Numbing the pain of a broken heart;
time erases feelings of regret.
And allows trust to rejuvenate;
till a solo becomes a duet.
