What is love but the hearts own sight
the pushing of good and everything right
it gives the world hope to arise from ashes
in the flames of hate but sometimes crashes
it is the only thing that can save us
but even though it always does hurt us
and cause as much pain and suffering
as its opposite, evil, one of Satan's it being
love is supposed to be everything
yet even if we believe in it we get nothing
because still only a few in this realm
believe in its power to overwhelm
and because of others doubts
i have lost its meaning and its whereabouts
life used to be so easy when love was everywhere
but now i find it so difficult just to even stare
into a girls eyes that i love because of the pain
of knowing to her no love does remain
nothing left in her heart for me
and so never can my love for her never be
its is incomplete and i cannot decree
how much i feel for her because it pushes her
farther away from me and it starts to deter
into lonelyness and depression galore
loves caused me to know that i cant take anymore
of life because it hurts so i now drop to the floor
and cry and ask god why was i cursed so
and the answer i get only he will ever know
no love does not save all only a select few
the rest who wish for it now, if only they knew
how much it hurts to love but not be in return
and how it drives one to hunger and to yearn
and make them want to kill themselves
just to stop the feeling that delves
in the hearts that once brought light
but now only leads to darkened fright
love may cause happiness but even more pain
so then what in the end does one even gain
so abandon it i shall and leave it to another
lest my old love finally does discover
that love is the greatest champion in mind
but then even she will com back to me to find
only a broken man who is nothing but a shell
who gave his heart to heaven and was still condemned to hell...
