Questions Waiting for Answers

In what garden of error
Is there greater despair
Than the substitute
For love's pure bloom? ...

Which is the open wound
In an immovable ground
That makes of love's a weed
To depart while it bleeds? ...

The lie is disclosed,
Defrauded-exposed...
The diamond-only glass
Which falls from truth-then cracks...

False love-fly from me!
Or I will run away from thee,
While the surface blistered still,
My broken dream-I cannot heal! ...

Silent lie- perish and be gone,
Much of life is yet condone,
When from past shall present borrow,
This burden shall weigh less of sorrow...
