Lessons Learned

The story of the heart is the hardest to understand.
When you are at your weakest,
Love gives you the power to carry on.
At your strongest, 
It can rip through your soul.
The process never changes.
Elation or despair,
It's a two edged sword that never dulls.
No armor has been made to protect you from it.
Even though you fear it, 
Still you rush to embrace it.
