Love Is, Love Isn't Collaboration with Sandra Weiss

I know the pain that love can bring
How hurtful words can bite and sting
When lies are told, love will take wings
That real love doesn't come with strings

Love, liken to a pendulum swing
Taking it all not giving a thing
Once I listened to my heart sing
When I thought love was everything.

What happens is, that we don't see
Sometimes love's not meant to be
Perhaps there should be a decree,
The lock for love has lost it's key

I found that love was not for me
It brings with it too much debris
Though some will say that love is free
I'd have to say, I disagree.

 
              Sandra Weiss
                  Daniel Turner
