Love

It takes a collection of scars to create
A reminder tattooed with permanence
That love, in all its essence, 
Is but a double-edged blade
That pins together two hearts
Such that they will never be apart
So sharp-edged, though, that it rips in time
Those it is supposed to bind.

Interesting piece on love and its many facets and failures, as there is not perfect love except God's. Very good composition.
