A Better Fate
Unrequited love haunts
both 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.
Hope warps reality,
letting love drift off course.
And salvageable dreams
get scuttled by remorse.
Explanations fail the
expectations of youth.
And yet, behind false smiles
lies the elusive truth.
You feel inadequate,
unsure if you can cope.
And break down into tears
that oft overwhelm hope.
When facing rejection,
love can morph into hate.
But, in time, you'll forget;
and chase a better fate.
