Life and Love
What is life without love
A night sky without a moon
Could also be unlit candles
In a dark scary room
To have your heart
Explode with emotion
Yet no one there
To share your devotion
For you hold your hand out
Will one help balance life
If no grasp for that hand
Unknown plight of feeling damned
So some try and try again
Others fail before they begin
Life goes on with or without
Each year lingers by full of doubt
To make one more connection
Surely would length my life
So unsteadily I thrust the hand
Who will balance me now
But what is life without love
And also love without pain
For deep within my heart
It has all been the same
