A Change of Face

When did love entangle you and change your face my friend?

When last we spoke your heart had broke and you were at your end

A dagger in one chamber and a longing in the next

With thump and bump, you seemed equally stumped as you were vexed

Perplexed at how love complicated and inebriated you

To see an elixir when there laid a poisoned brew

And in your worry and haste-filled flurry you drank the vial dry

They byproduct the misery that pushed tears to your eyes

Yet here you stand, with love in hand, the grim and grime wiped away

With a smile and tune in tow that gleams in the day

Dare I say hope for the hopeless, friend? I dare not jinx the malady

For love it seems has made a dream from a catastrophe
