Who's to say

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We just stroll on down the road, as we distribute this

heavy load, of broken promises and broken dreams,

love isn’t always as it seems.

 

Who’s to say we belong, forever nomadic in a song,

how much hope, can we cope, as the world watches

closely under a microscope, who’s to say it should be

that way, a fabrication of love in decay.

 

In the darkness of the night, we dream of perfection in

black and white, empty hearts and empty souls, come

together in valleys and knolls.

 

So many miles have come between, everyday a inverted

monochrome scene, when did it start and where will it

end, were we really together just to condescend?

 

Isn’t love pretentious, when spied through the eyes of a

fool, every word sarcastic, enforcing the villainous gag rule.

Still we roll with desperate need, in search of passion at

blinding speed. Has it always been this way, a sort of

perverse judgment day?

It's delusion and elusive where the heart is concerned, things get tangled and we scratch our heads in wonder. Some great questions and even better answers here.

the answer to the questions within our hearts that only our own hearts ( and time) can answer , excellent ~

Wow.. What a wonder of a piece this was.. It really took my breath away ya know? I always wondered on why we move forward searching for something that may or may not, be there. Like why is it so hard? Honesty seems to take the back seat sometimes and I so love the romance, the truth face to the wind kind of thing.. Yes fools rush in where others tread slowly, then again, I wonder on what a fool really is, is it the one who takes the chance, or the one who stops trying to feel?

I so loved this, your imagery was perfection and such truth inside and the song, oh it fit perfectily.

We will always search for love. It is ingrained in us and we long for companionship. This is a deep thought provoking poem that has amazing imagery and as always the flow is done really well.

Tremendous thought here I think

Like it, and the song. I haven't heard that one in a long time. Great pairing.
