Illusions of Love
by crystal tiaralove.
it isn't always a warm feeling.
you don't always get a happy ending
unlike what they tell you in fairy tales.
you often never get what you want
when you fall
in love.
it's not always the usual scenario
two people, exchanging lasting gazes
sharing talks over a warm cup of tea.
nor is it all about spinning promises
or exchanges of sweet talk.
somehow, i've lost faith in that.
love
isn't all roses
it's dark, it's mysterious
it's a dangerous game.
you never know what you'll get
but don't expect "happily ever after"
because you'll just be caught up
in your own illusions.
i know what love is.
so many times, it's broken my heart.
i've lost who i am because of love,
gone out of my way
to do things i'd never have done
had become someone i'm not.
i've given my all only for that one person
that one person whom i cherish so.
that person who was always so distant
so distant, yet so near.
funny how love can make
even the most intelligent person
act as a fool.
i've sacrificed everything
done it all for him
all because of love.
even though i know
i might only try in vain
i still do what i can for him
if only to reach into his soul,
to touch him,
to hold him,
to be of use to him.
and so i wait
foolishly hoping that he will return my feelings
believing in my childish dreams
wishing, desperately that he would need me
the way i need him.
i wait, and wait
assuring myself that one day,
he will approach me
and maybe,
i'll have my happy ending for once.
but i can't fool myself forever.
deep inside, i feel
like i am dying again and again.
