Tours d’amour
Love tricks
Emotionally bruised
In need of kissing chemistry
I may be out
But I’m not down
I tried, yes I did
But I’m just her jester
I now realize
There to amuse
Our romance contrived
Tours d’amour
Indeed
But I’ve gotten out alive
I’ve learned
Been burned
Earned battle stripes
Emerged scathed
But would do it again
For the chalice, the elixir
That is love
Where you give your heart
In search of nirvana
I know I will find it
I must dare
Notwithstanding tours d’amour
My true one waits for me
