Fragile Feelings
Love inflicts a pain hearts bear;
when shadows of doubt appear.
And though it may seem unfair,
sometimes, all that's left is fear.
Dreams on a slippery slope
skirt the fringes of darkness.
And fate forces you to cope
with reality's starkness.
Fragile feelings require care;
in a world of push and shove.
Yet, hope courts every affair;
even unrequited love.
You live a lie that was spun
from fragments of trust and truth.
And reel from the damage done;
to the innocence of youth.
You mustn't give in to your tears;
your wishes can still come true.
For, as the hurt disappears,
time mends broken hearts like new.
