A Love Affair With Agony

one heart can hold so much emotion,
a dangerously flooded ocean.
an orchestra of ugly notions,
torturing with sick devotion.

one can sometimes find a well,
and gaze into the depths of hell.
a realm of pain and sad farewells,
forever booked in this hotel.

how many tears can one eye cry,
before the rivers run bone dry.
and not one friend can recognize,
this unsightly, cruel disguise.

but for every mangled face,
angelic masks will soon replace.
caused by a simple change in pace,
a light of hope that will erase.

little things, the petty romance,
that trick young girls into a trance.
a devil's smile, he can enchant,
with cunning words and clever rants.

this love affair will go nowhere,
it's too crude, too unaware.
back to the pitiful despair,
of the question, do i dare?
