(sigh…)
Much as there is black and white, Nights and days.
Love also has dark times when the sun doesn’t shine its rays
When people start showing off their dark ways
Paradise becomes hell and in pain you dwell.
You hope it gets okay
But it gets worse each day.
It burns than a furnace
You’re no longer familiar with the tenderness
All that’s living in your heart is bitterness
The once occupied space in your heart has now become a wilderness
Their presence in your life has suddenly become anomalous
And the heart has lost direction of its own atlas.
You wish the world could reset and you correct your past mistakes
Now you know what it feels like when your heart breaks
You are more aware and try by all means to avoid heartbreaks
The terrors of love are many
There’s not one of us who haven’t experienced any.
We learn and move on
Only to experience the same bullshit as life goes on. (Sigh)
LULETH.
When the sky turns black and the rain tarts to pour
We seek shelter in places we once ignored.
For love can be brutal where it was once gentle and the dosage be lethal
No matter how carefully it is taken.
Like a woman scorned, it settles the score
Turning smiles into myths and laughter into noise.
Though it seems surreal that love’s joy can be still
The bandits that pounce lurk deep within, even your next of kin.
They lurk in the shadows of stolen moments and words unsaid
When steps are retraced it is often too late
The realization that innocent white lies hid infant monsters that grew like pride, ego and condemnation alike.
Many wish to only well in the light,
But human nature summons darkness in its stride.
So when you find love, never be surprised because like everything in life, it exists twice.
The good and the bad, you’re happy then sad.
