Cynicism

Cynicism

A Poem by drivebypoet
"

Love is is greatest paradox of all,you have to give it away to keep it,and cynicism will make you stingy

"

 

 

                         Cynicism

          When all the dreams of youth

          are tattered and torn by truth

          and the scars that mar the soul

          are symbols of yesterdays folly

          and retrospect tells you

          fairytales are for children

          and only the innocent trust in love

          beware of illusions

          for you have lost

          a paradox
