Duplicity

I've always believed in love,
but love gave up on me

I emerse my thoughts in tales
Only to find them not meant for me
Love is cruel, showing me its heaven and its hell

The glory of first love...
crushing my feeble heart when it ends
Hell

My world once filled with skies of blue
is now filled with an unforgiving black
But, I choose today, love
to give up on you

"Why do we love love,
when love seems to hate us?"
