A Tangle of Hearts

In a moment's blur, a proposal's plea,
From a past I thought I'd left behind, you see.
Confusion's grip tightened its icy hold,
As my heart struggled to find a truth to behold.

Once, we shared a flame that burned so bright,
But time had dimmed its glow, leaving only night.
Now, from the ashes of a forgotten fire,
You emerged with words that sparked a new desire.

But fate had woven a different thread,
A tapestry of love where my heart was led.
In my present embrace, I had found my bliss,
A happiness that shattered your untimely kiss.

Like a fragile vase, my resolve began to crack,
As memories of our past came flooding back.
Yet, the love I shared now held my soul captive,
A beacon of light in a world gone deceptive.

With trembling hands, I gently pushed you away,
A choice that filled my heart with both pain and dismay.
For in your eyes, I glimpsed a flicker of hurt,
A reminder of the bond we once had, now inert.

Confusion's claws still linger, a haunting trace,
As I navigate this emotional maze.
The past, the present, and the future intertwined,
A tangled web where my heart's true path I must find.

But through the chaos, one truth remains clear:
My loyalty lies with the love that's here.
Though memories may linger, like whispered sighs,
My heart belongs to the present, where my spirit flies.
