Shield of Fear

Time pauses as your heart's breaking, and you feel each minute detail. Yet the truth of the matter is; dreams and wishes rarely prevail. You failed to see beyond the lies, blinded by their masking effect. Yet tethered to reality, hope forgives moments of neglect. Love's a song sung as a duet, orchestrated by hopeful hearts. And it is an intimate tune; its harmony played in two parts. Love doesn't follow any rules, its path is unpredictable. And yet, when two halves join as one, their feelings are predictable. Love is a tangible feeling; expressed as a kiss or a tear. So, when eternal bliss beckons, hope supplants any shield of fear.
