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.
