Vicious Circle
Two perfect strangers
On a train heading nowhere
Aware life gets lonely
with no companion
He says "hello"
She replies "hi"
Smiles, like currency, are exchanged
Enthralled by her nature so exquisitely delicate
He yields to her subtle feminine power
Her resistance bows in the face of his masculine charm
Two hearts zings! Entwining
two souls becomes inseparable
Lost to a world of fantasy
Whispers of sweet-nothings
Anthem for their ears only
Hearts swell, fluttering like butterflies
Love flows, warm and free
or was it?....
Questioning head sits to think
As ephemeral pleasures evaporate into thin air
Love grows cold and sour
Scars remain while time heal
gashes of ripped souls....
A hurting stranger
Seeking redemption, meets another
He says "Hello"
She replies "Hi"
the vicious circle, like broken record, repeats...
