Love sometimes
is a wicked thing
It can break your heart
and bring you suffering
It can make you vunerable
it can make you weak
When used against you
it can reduce you to your knees
And its my greatest fear
the possibility that I
Will live long enough
to see every one I love die
Or dying alone
without ever knowing love
This is my fear
and its a heavy burden
Because how can you love
when you have so many scars
with its signature
by it torn apart
It isn't meant to be easy
but nothing ever is
For my ownsake
I hope
I can overcome this
