The Lie Of It All Poem by Matthew Holloway

Falling in love
Is supposed to be magical
Like a scene from a movie
An almost perfect union
Of two souls connecting
In an unbridled bliss
The lie of it all
Love is anything but a scene
A complication found
Love is an uneasy path
Often one sided
That's where it hurts
Where the inspiration
And forlorn dreams reside
Love can be a fallacy
A false destiny
Something never to be
Yet on the movie screen
We see it there
The lie of it all
