Dagger of Love

Love is a Dagger 
The shining Silver
Loves greatest Gold 
Beautifully enriched

Sharpened to a point 
The height of a relationship
Broken when tossed 
How easily it snaps

Tossed from hand to hand
The Love Dagger
Piercing a heart
Cold as steel

Seeing a shimmer in the shadow
Chasing after love 
Only to be stabbed in the back

Love is Nothing but the opposite
Good and Evil, passed between the hands
Chosen by a leader
Used by both

Hilt or no hilt 
Love is supported 
Like a dagger
Entwined unto each other

Becoming one
Simply foretold, A great use
The dagger of love
Death or Life, chosen

The Arrowhead space
Docded in blood
A Heart, love
Stabbed and Broken

Give me life, dagger
Sacrificed unto love
Giving a heart 
So poorly beating

Cold steel, Cold blood
Useless love, Wasted time
Mourning unto the night
Until love is found again
