Laughter of Fate
Fate laughs to himself;
As I listen to the melody
playing within my heart.
With kisses of bliss
I fall head over heals.
And outside my line of vision...
blinded by love,
He taunts me with the
prospect of "true love."
But, in my shame,
I turn my form
in belief that
there be no such thing;
Tears streaming down my cheeks,
and heart torn in disarray.
Hand made stitches are needed
in the form of self love.
"Because" laughing Fate
in his mocking tone...
"Self-love is the only true love!
Foolish and naive
Human fantasies to think
true love is from another!"
In his scorn
We know this be truth...
True love is within ourselves
before love can come from another.
