A Better Fate

Unrequited love haunts your fantasies and dreams. And you are left struggling; to stifle silent screams. All hearts crave affection; those denied die inside. And like a seductress, lust manipulates pride. Time warps reality; letting love drift off course. And salvageable dreams; get scuttled by remorse. Explanations fail the expectations of youth. But hidden behind tears; lies the elusive truth. You feel inadequate; unsure if you can cope. For: life is rife with fears that can overwhelm hope. Once stung by rejection; love oft morphs into hate. But, in time, you'll forget; and chase a better fate.
