When Love Lies

I keep telling myself...
Not to fall in love with someone,
Not to dwell in dreams of 'em
Those who can simply erase your glee,
And make you weep.

But pain wears a facade of true love
which draws me in
And I fail to see it
'n I fall
Every time I try to run away from it

I wonder
Is there any escape !?
