Love

Love breeds hate, we are her children, lost and scared, blasé and meek. We curse the ones who left us lonely and blame the ones who made us weak. Love will shove you to the ground, on all your fours to crawl through dust. You'll lift your head towards the sunrise to catch some light but only just. Love breeds fear, now watch me shiver: too scared to open up the door, in case in comes another stranger to add more damage to the sore. Love will leave you lying breathless, your body scattered on the bed. A hopeless pilgrim gone off radar, still longing for the words she said. Love will show you the error of your pathetic little ways. With every hand the stake gets higher and in the end - the loser pays. Love will never give you pity, too many fallen, fools galore. A lesson learnt, I should know better but here I am, begging for more...
