love

love - a beautiful myth we hold on to
with vague comprehension.. fading lines

meaningless.. each emphatically bemoaning
an emotion with no place in their lives

sadly missing it's true import all along
accepting the shadow.. ruing it's loss

a bit of romanticism in a vain attempt
at adding magic to an emotion
that is Godly in itself

misguided by eyes the tortured heart
wishes for that trust.. as handicapped it becomes
a pawn to the mind

despairing of this dependency
negating everything natural to it
