Reality's Rules

Quietly mumbling under your breath, you toss and turn, unable to sleep. For when doubt sentences love to death; your feelings flow from shallow to deep. Secreted within your heart and soul; your forever dreams defeat despair. And yet, those that leave you feeling whole are fragile, so handle them with care. Truth frightens those wounded by its sting; for if trust falters, nothing is clear. And your heart knows the pain love can bring; thus, it comes with a smidgen of fear. Love ignores imposed logic or norms; for it can turn heroes into fools. And instigates emotional storms; not subject to reality's rules. A spontaneous upsurge of hope has you believe two souls can combine. And spinning strands of trust into rope; two hearts get bound as lovers entwine.
