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
