misleading looks
promises mistook
darkened dreams
creameries of we
wanting to love

but only guarded ...virtually
as fear lingers into reality

step by step
letting baby steps lead
lost in life\\\'s labyrinth
emotional cries bleed


hearing in my head
deafening warning signs scream

echoes shadow my heart
whispers of fear
extinguish fires upon sparks
as weary thoughts
let heartache loom

shying away as love is entombed

two conjoined souls
never meant to bloom

prisoners of love
exiled in doom
