Promise of healing,
The threat of pain,
Mentally alert,
Spiritually inane.
Rays of sunshine,
An arc of rain,
Flowers without
Dormant remain.
I know you so well,
Perhaps all in vain.
Mimicking all
Too soon you'll change.
Years of bliss,
A life to feign.
Suffer degradation
Imitating gain.
Summers of passion
While winters remain.
Ardor departs;
Apathy reigns.
