Love's Magic
Confronting fragile feelings within,
pain will inevitably begin.
While pride rebuffs attempts to amend
the sins you still stubbornly defend.
In a world of shakers and takers,
trickery breeds liars and fakers.
And fledgling spirits, clipped of their wings,
attract trouble and the tears it brings.
Doubt devastates a heart in despair,
letting uncertainty foul the air.
And to prove you are not like the rest,
you study love, yet you fail each test.
Rife with both flattery and deceit,
memories are often bittersweet.
And blind to the jealousy you bear,
lies contort the truth beyond repair.
Fear festering in shadow and dream
constantly preys on low self-esteem.
Truthfully, there's nothing more tragic
than a heart bereft of love's magic.
