Paradise lost then found then lost again
Having everything and gambling on the future
Forgoing the apparent happiness of artificial love
All for the scent of a woman and her allure
The recriminations, heartache, and sense of remorse
Paint a scene splattered with undaunted feelings
Reasoning tainted by urgings again discovered
Cast aside thoughts of legitimate things
Separating reality from fantasy is a tortured dilemma
Logic without foundation, decisions without grounds
Advice given neither taken nor welcomed
Trumpets through the air but leaves no sounds
A man humbled by his actions yet undeterred
Brandishes a sword mightier than the guidance of ages
For any fool knows that a love unrequited
Is worse than a cancer that kills in stages
