Love

Just a cruel joke

One wrought with depression and pain

Though it’s a lie that we tell

Over and over again



Within our sight

But just out of our reach



We speak of its’ joy

A feeling to embrace

Never knowing that one

Just one to many mistakes

Will knock down the home

And the foundation will shake



The warmth, of love, will escape

While the ice cold rain, of reality

Comes rushing in



Inside, crushed dreams

Dead hopes and one broken shattered heart

While outside

The grim reaper of consequence

Dumps one then another

And another shovel full again



Love

A cruel joke

I should say not

Love

A delicate balancing act

When not done right

Is just cruel
