Sweet Denial

Loneliness runs deep
While fear is shallow,
Fear of loneliness
Is a deep wound,

Healing is a slow process
That may never be complete,
Acceptance is bitter
When denial seems sweet

Life turns us in circles
Like a pup after his tail
I've been here before
Heartache doomed to repeat

Decisions made yesterday
Pushing us into today,
Running scared from tomorrow
The feelings I cannot defeat

My heart, a merry-go-round
My mind your memory controls
When time becomes my friend
Then the heartaches will end.
