Beholden

Accept it as fate
or fight for the right?
Believing in dreams,
knowing hope is in sight.

No matter how hard
I try to forget
The facts still delude me,
a life with regrets.

If it wasn’t for air,
we never would breathe.
If it wasn’t for the heart,
love never would succeed.

To extinguish love
and its right to belong.
To break the heart of one
whose held love so strong.

I can’t help you discover,
your innermost fears.
You’re inept to accept
and bring my love near.

Consider for a second
that I may be right.
And if given the chance,
love’s given life.
