Against Our Choice of Will

Sorrow seems seductive, invitation to the tears,
Regret remembers endlessly, folly fills our fears,
Lonely lingers lasting love, emptiness ever after,
Heartbreak hurls horrific hurt, longing lulls the laughter.
Angst is anguish, pains are pleas, mistakes are made in twos,
Questions calm, no secret balm for why that I love you.

Footprints fade, forgotten stayed, prayers protect our peace,
Only waste is only haste and creativity creased,
Puddles muddle, seas befuddle, no one there to care,
Spoken broken promises with so little time to spare.
Somber softens chance begotten, perfection pales inside,
Pleading needing hopeful seeding timeless truant tide,
Guilty given gestured grin admittance as again,
Begging basic tenderness poised prolific pen.

Accused as angry accolades, abandoned random reams,
Secret seeking silent speaking searching for our dreams,
Lives align in latent lairs, sonorous simply stills,
Happiness hides within our hearts against our choice of will.
