Love gets tested

Lara Pietersen

When we were friends, so long ago

Hope wanders in fae’s tale

Heart didn't know it loved you then

With every Breath exhaled.

And somewhere on that flowered path

You begged for Hope’s caged Heart

And somewhere on the darkened road

Heart's cage was torn apart.

Through all the doubts, your lies, Heart's tears

Your words of trust soothed fears

Heart let you in, you saw Heart's soul

But in Love's test, you failed.

'Cause in Love’s test, some people fail

Hearts break, burn, tear, Breaths can't exhale

Hearts scream sil’nt, no wounds scar over

On Dread's dark day, you'll Love another.

Heart’s endless watch, no cage of lead

We can't be friends, with Hope now dead

You can't just choose, reject or keep

Heart's strengths, Heart's love, when Hearts, they weep.

When Love was tested, and you did fail

Heart broke, Heart tore, Breath can't exhale

And Heart screams silence, wounds don't scar over,

Heart dreads the day you love another.

And every night, you steal Heart's Dreams

Love's kiss, snakes hiss. Heart silent screams

Hope dead, Trust gone, Hate creeps on in

But endless Love should always win.

Your Love was tested, why did you fail?

Break, burn, tear Heart, stop Breath's exhale?

Make Heart scream silence? Wounds can't scar over

When Dread's day comes, you'll Love another.

Heart pleas forever, through silent screams

Love haunts, Love taunts, Dread's nightly dreams

Tormented tears, Heart ripped asunder.

Green Monsters grin, you’ll love another.
