R
esist the temptation your heart silently echoes
Eventually feelings change from times long ago
Faint memories continue to sway through your mind
Love and adoration a vision once led you blind
Expectations of tomorrow just getting through the night
Continued ignorance shall tarnish in goodtime
Take off the mask and let your feelings show
In dreams you continue to love safe from the harm
Obstacles of hurt and words cutting sharp
Not what it seemed you naievly thought
Senseless heartache a reflection that fades in time

Nicely done Coco ... my acrostics always sound so contrived, but this has a very natural flow ...

Beautiful..I think this is becoming quite the theme lately here at Passions. Seems everyone is reflecting in some way or another.  Enjoyed this!
