Tell me about the fire.

Living can't be easy

with all this angst

that seems to accompany passion

stars really do not align

although the tides do turn

There's some truth

and there's some lies

in nature and this living,

it can't be easy

"Romance awaits you."

Our hearts can be most resilient

when seeking love

Imagine the brightest human star

showing up on your doorstep

like a lit up dream

all light and fire and life

This radiant beast,

she burns for you,

and that takes a toll

on a soul

"Passionate new love appears in your life when you least expect it."

Why can't this be easy?

Truth be told

none of us want to be alone

and none of us want to need someone

or feel the strain of being needed

If the creature at the doorstep

is open and leaking blood on the stoop

suddenly that's all we see

no more light is visible

it's just the misery and that want

that rawness that eclipses our light

Living is not easy

and to love, this is life

and living can't be easy.
