Painful Passion

Long Ago
A chance meeting
Emotions kindling
A painful passion

Difficult to read
A man of stone
Also a player
But he lit me

Awakened dead desires
We created scattered stories
And new memories
To cover old scars

Though it’s difficult
The pain never goes
Produced scarlet tears
Ruining our faded photos

But we muddle through
We cling close
We try to shine
Be we’re like grainy stars

It’s onwards and upwards
We continue to thrive
With our heads held high
Cos we are made to be one
