Memories Carry Weight
When you surrender to love,
passion erupts into flame.
And desire won't be ignored;
despite risks of pain or shame.
A screwed-up reality
can take years to understand.
But you're willing to gamble;
blind to what fate holds in hand.
Guided by feelings of bliss,
you chase love's elusive spark.
And yet, in fantasy's realm,
innocence fuels the dark.
The feeling of betrayal
devastates your broken heart.
And white lies, stripped of luster,
tear your paper dreams apart.
Sometimes, it seems, love offers
more to reject than embrace.
And then hope carries you off;
to another, better place.
