Wounds of Love

Love, a bittersweet blessing Sometimes it fills us with joy Sometime it drives us to madness We feel it's power either way We cannot escape it's grip on us Without warning it enters our heart Suddenly our lover becomes the entire Focus of our lives without us even realizing it This is when the dark side of love reveals itself We hang on every word they utter in our presence Waiting for the poetic words that make us feel adored When acidic words are screamed instead Our emotions intensify and explode We transform into another being One that knows not rational thought But, whose emotions dominate their lives A wounded heart commits acts that defy logic Like a mighty twister spiraling out of control There is no taming the ferocious beast That is starved for affection by their lover When our lovers cherishes us And fills that emptiness inside us We feel loves enticing magic But, when we are neglected And battered our sweet demeanor Vanishes and is replaced with wrath When you starve your lover They become vicious Remembering the bitter Sting of your rejection They cannot handle The emptiness they Are being engulfed with They drown in despair Falling victim to the Wounds of love
