An Alluded Illusion
So soft you couldn’t see, 
 But the hearts, not minds,
 Were meant to be. 
 
 The pain they knew
 That they both shared
 The pain that showed
 How much they cared. 
 
 Flowers
 And chocolates do not mean love,
 But the lightened eyes 
 And smiles and hugs. 
 
 Not even a ring
 Or kiss in the rain,
 These things mean nothing
 When you have nothing to gain.
 
 Something
 That makes a family from friends,
 Something we all know
 That never ends. 
 Something they wove
 In the jokes and smiles,
 Something that blossomed
 From the pain all the while. 
 
 There was love out of nothing. 
 It took four years of something.
 
 It took years of something-
 For there was love from nothing. 
 
 Something that blossomed
 From the pain all the while, 
 Something they wove 
 In the jokes and the smiles. 
 
 Something we all know
 That never ends.
 Something we know
 That makes a family from friends.
 
 These things mean nothing:
 Not a kiss in the rain
 Or even a ring
 When you have nothing to gain. 
 
 The lightened eyes,
 And smiles and hugs,
 Because flowers and chocolate
 Do not mean love. 
 
 The pain that showed
 How much they cared,
 The pain they knew
 That they both shared. 
 
 The hearts, not minds, 
 Were meant to be,
 The tears
 So soft you couldn’t see. 
 The Illusion. 
 
 This was the illusion,
 Low and high above
 This was the allusion
 To soft sweet love.
