Love

It's a feeling that words can't explain,
It's a desire that sometimes can't be contained,
It's worth more we often know but sometimes cost less than we show,
It's a motion for devotion,
It's often taken for-granted but never remains the same,
 We use it for fame and fortune when it's a treasure we all contain.
It's a simple four letter word but isn't as simple as it seems,
If you've ever been hurt you know exactly what I mean.

I maintain that Love has been responsible for more hurt and pain than anything else in the world.
