Fountain or a Well?

A fleeting moment I would want to hold
an obvious story ,concealed and untold
in a heart so deep and a heart so cold
I'd try to make these memories fold

for a world unkind and a world unfair
that has a trick to dupe & a cheater's flair
I'll never give away what I can never share
a coward's story locked in a lion's lair

Emotion for a stranger or love for a dear
will all seem similar on this perfect veneer
of what I want to tie & what I want to tear
Inside it'll stay, sealed in bare fear

Of broken hearts & broken promises
and legends of forlorn & fatal kisses
an echo in my mind silently hisses
a fountain loses what a well never misses
