Love is sometimes everything Shimmering inside your heart and soul
Let's be the good in every love story. Let's be the Love and Light.
1 of 2:
Love is sometimes everything
(Shimmering inside your heart and soul)

Love is sometimes an illusion
It's a mirage that comes and goes
Beautiful and ephemeral
Like the views across the coast
One moment it is sunny
The next it is overcast
Shimmering beneath the waves
Are those currents we shouldn't cross
Love is sometimes a destroyer
We bend ourselves inside out as it wills
Seductive and exciting
Like the allure of those little pills
One moment you are lucid
The next you're out of your mind
Shimmering beneath your skin
The bitterness with the sublime
Love is sometimes a trickster
We get confused by hormones and chance
A situation that can spin out quickly
Like a tornado sweeps across a farm
One moment there is substance
The next everything is destroyed
Shimmering beyond Truth and Light
The Fates have given their warnings
Love is sometimes unforgettable
We can't move on from the ties that bind
No matter how badly they treat us
We hang on to our Hope and Kindness
One moment there is a connection
The next we're ghosted for good
Shimmering beneath our hearts
Is the Darkness that begins to brood
Love is sometimes transient
It flows through us and those we meet
We try to hold on to the feelings
But are only met with Loss and Defeat
One moment there is happiness
The next we're out in the rain
Shimmering inside each memory
Is what's left of humanity's pain
Love is sometimes unspeakable
It's in the bruises and breaks that they give
If you don't escape the battlefield
You might not get to live
One moment there is calm
The next the rage is unleashed
Shimmering inside their hearts
Is the Darkness that they're feeding
