You walk straight and think you see it
But do you?
It could be a mirage
It could be a farce
It could be your dream
You're too scared to unravel the path before you,
And see that you've taken the wrong turn
Have you?
On this path of yours you trip over jagged rocks
You skin your fragile knees
You get stung by nature's cruel hornets
Cruel hornets with a poison so strong
That you're left crippled, alone, and abandoned on the curb for days
With tears and aches as your only companions
Is it worth it?
The pain
You keep walking and you get robbed of everything
Maybe even you're dignity--you're not sure
You lose your glasses
You lose your strings
You lose your shield
You're left stark naked
Vulnerable.
But you don't feel it
You don't feel it because she douses you with soft flower petals
You don't feel it because she envelopes you with her enchanting aroma
You don't feel it because she whispers everlasting love into your ears
You don't feel it because she sprinkles delicate kisses all over your body
Your body seizes and convulses with the sweetest pleasures from her love
Seizes until you collapse into her arms and scream that you're hers
You forget the rocks
You close your eyes to the blood
You numb out the stings
You embrace your vulnerability
She's worth it.
The love
You walk straight and think you see it, eternal happiness
But do you?
It could be a mirage
It could be a farce
It could be your dream
You're too scared to turn around,
And see trails of regret behind you
You slave ahead
But is it agony before you or is it bliss?
