Fickle

Foolish girl- why do you tempt
The hand that you've been dealt?
When others glimpse inside your life
and envy blessing held?

Is he worth the pain and guilt
this tryst will surely cause?
Can he grow to treasure you..
your failures and your flaws?

As accumstomed you've become
To safety found at home...
Reliable security
Childrens laughing arms..

Is it possible to forsake
The wonder in my being?
To do what I've been taught is right
No love, No pain, No gain..

Fate!  I beg you!! Release me please!
I've not the stregnth to choose..
Selfish immorality
masks passions subtle truths..

My heart is split asunder
a puppet with no strings..
Yes, a family's grief to bear..
or NO..lose everything.

some good, intuitive stuff here - much appreciated... also - I enjoy the usage of "near-rhymes." Kind of refreshing!
