Lilac Lovers

Lilac lovers, dirty and used.
Lowdown and rugged, slightly abused.
Tussled and tarnished;
Tangled in doubt.
Love is an excuse
When you can't cop out.
Romance is a slippery slope
When you're banking on false hope.
Troubled with heartbreak
But you can't walk away.
Hands to your head,
You pray he won't stay.
Blankets, banter, and a bedside sneak.
Thoughts once so firm are now gone in a blink.
