Chapter 602

Evade

As each day passes
Our love may start to fade
A heart can begin to crack
When the edges get bent and frayed

The hurt and sting we feel
Cuts like a sharp blade
Isn't it really of ourselves
That we are actually afraid

At one point it seemed
As if all the stars were arrayed
Maybe time has shown
It was all a cruel masquerade

We thought we could win
But it seems we were only played
Hope, joy and happiness evaporated
That left us to feel dismayed

To get that love back
What would we sell or trade
The love trapped inside of us
Is going to explode like a grenade

There are those who have stayed
There are those who have strayed
It is all some wild escapade
Until one day we are betrayed

We are where we are now
Does that make the grade
What price will need to be paid
To serenade in love's crusade

As we try to persuade
Some may be swayed
We think it is an upgrade
In reality it is another barricade

To share with another
One may soon invade
To get away from it all
Is easier if everything we evade

Nobody
