Love's Magic
Facing fragile feelings held within,
pain will inevitably begin.
For; pride rebuffs attempts to amend
the sins that you stubbornly defend.
In a world of scammers and fakers,
trickery breeds liars and takers.
And a fledgling spirit clipped of wings
attracts trouble; and the tears it brings.
Nagging doubts, fill your heart with despair,
letting uncertainty foul the air.
And believing you're not like the rest,
you study love, yet fail every test.
Fond memories; oft taste bittersweet,
riddled with flattery and deceit,
And blind to the jealousy you bear,
you contort the truth beyond repair.
Fears that lurk within shadow and dream
frequently prey on low self-esteem.
For in truth, nothing's quite as tragic
as a heart bereft of love's magic.
