Embracing deception; believing the lies.
Grasping for feelings we cannot deny.

Hoping were wiser the longer we wait;
Embittered by love that dares to come late.

Blowing the ember that burns in our hand;
Cursing the weakness we don’t understand.

Tempted by memories softened by time;
We question the gift-wrap; yet open the wine;
Succumb to illusion, and sign on line.

Coming to terms with a burning desire;
Watching the lonely who dance on the wire;
Consumed by the drama of yesterday’s fire.

Addicted to Love

Contributed by softerware on Sunday, 11th February 2018 @ 05:13:57 PM in AEST
Topic: LovePoetry

Rushing to love; in all her disguise;
Embracing deception; believing the lies.
Grasping for feelings we cannot deny.

Hoping were wiser the longer we wait;
Embittered by love that dares to come late.

Blowing the ember that burns in our hand;
Cursing the weakness we don’t understand.

Tempted by memories softened by time;
We question the gift-wrap; yet open the wine;
Succumb to illusion, and sign on line.

Coming to terms with a burning desire;
Watching the lonely who dance on the wire;
Consumed by the drama of yesterday’s fire.

So true my friend. The fear of loneliness will make many sell their souls to the devil. Many people want what they want and with material things they may get it. But real love can/'/t be bought. One shouldn/'/t try to either.
Great write!

for some reason I don/'/t fully grasp, the line "We question the gift-wrap; yet open the wine" really struck a chord for me. this piece has great flow, I enjoyed reading it.

Love
a memory
something I use to yearn
but now I fear
