The Other Side of Love

A cycle of poems «Your Fragments of a Broken Heart»

Familiar streets, a painted sky
The same old breeze is blowing by
But everything feels different now, you see
Since love's true face stared back at me

I chased the fairytale, the perfect dream
A rose-tinted, shimmering gleam
But cracks appeared, and shadows grew
A different story, breaking through

This is the other side of love, the one they don't portray
Where fragile hearts are shattered, and dreams just fade away
It's not the butterflies and sunshine, hand in loving hand
It's picking up the pieces, in this desolate land

Remember whispered promises, beneath the moonlit shore?
Now silence echoes loudly where laughter was before
The gentle touch, the knowing glance, all turned to bitter dust
Betraying all the hope and faith, the sacred vows we trust

I chased the fairytale, the perfect dream
A rose-tinted, shimmering gleam
But cracks appeared, and shadows grew
A different story, breaking through

This is the other side of love, the one they don't portray
Where fragile hearts are shattered, and dreams just fade away
It's not the butterflies and sunshine, hand in loving hand
It's picking up the pieces, in this desolate land

The pain is sharp, a constant sting
But healing starts, and hope takes wing
I'll learn to fly, though wings are torn
And find my strength, on this new morn

This is the other side of love, the one they don't portray
Where fragile hearts are shattered, and dreams just fade away
It's not the butterflies and sunshine, hand in loving hand
It's picking up the pieces, in this desolate land

The other side of love, a harsh reality
But I'll survive, I'll find me, I'll finally be free
Free from the illusion, the broken fantasy
On the other side of love, I'll find my destiny.
