The lie of a stranger <br />Why does it hurt me so <br />Can't these rumors <br />Just let me go <br /> <br />True, I stepped out of bounds <br />I took that chance <br />Maybe I'm to blame <br />For being burned by loves' dance <br /> <br />So in the dark <br />I crouch again <br />Wondering when I'll be saved <br />By a friend <br /> <br />My friend never shows <br />So I'm left here alone <br />A chore that is mine <br />One that burdens my soul <br /> <br />Forevermore wanting <br />To be safe <br />I embrace isolation <br />Loneliness my grave <br /> <br />I'll never greet love again <br />At my door <br />Avoiding its pain forevermore<br /><br />Matt Mondschein<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/reality-of-love-5/
