A Hurting Heart
Beggars seldom get to select their preferred meal;
accepting the lowly scraps fate's willing to give.
An empty stomach will eat whenever it can;
it's not particular about the source at hand.
A lonely heart doesn't question if love is real;
convinced lies are sparks; trust ignites passion's flame.
And hope overrides any perceived risk of pain;
a feeling so strong it compels dreamers to try.
Reality oft blurs in the make-believe world;
tears subdue silent screams, fueling nightmare dreams.
And easily blinded by love's exquisite light,
joy gives in to doubt as relationships falter.
Overwhelmed by lies, suspicion unveils the truth,
and immersed in self-pity, your dreams fall apart.
A jilted heart bears countless scars of betrayal;
inflicted by flattery, fake smiles, and sweet lies.
The illusion of happiness feeds frustration
as fledgling hearts pursue love's elusive embrace.
And yet, hope never abandons a broken heart,
tethered to desire, dreams, and fantasy wishes.
