Love Can Escalate
Before escape.
Lovers meet swept off their feet
As chemistry takes over
There’s no logic or good reason.
Life’s a pasture full of clover.
Plans are made then can fade.
In the light of day
Unrealistic expectations
These are the easiest words to say.
I’ve been there, and it seems unfair.
Pleasure can turn to pain.
Lover’s Escape takes the cake.
And drives the mind insane.
Love is the endeavour.
Escape the tender trap.
The mental anguish and the pain
It can cause the mind to snap.
Sometimes, love will escalate.
And career out of control
On a roller coaster ride
Casts a spell upon my soul.
Hindsight can be helpful.
But love is not like that.
It builds me up and lets me down.
Then, it often leaves me flat.
Love is the burning fever.
To escape from the past
Electric and pulsating
But how long will it last?
