Love is alright for some.

 

How can love be so good for you When sometimes You get so drunk and intoxicated It can also make you blind Nothing can hurt so much And causes you so much pain The sun rises no more And you get drenched In caustic acid rain Cupid shot his arrow in the wrong direction And I don't see Cupid any more Left feeling like a kid in a candy store So full of goodies From the roof to the floor Without a penny to spend You can't buy what you need and can't afford My ship of dreams I thought was coming never came at all It just makes things you want Want them more and more The tasty apple you hungered for Was rotten at the core Why don't ocean waves roll by And never reach my shore Although I'm glad it does for couples around the world But for me I don't believe in love Anymore.

The pain of unrequited love is brought out well through the imagery of the apple, the ship and the sea.

How can love be good for you when sometimes it hurts the heart? But without it a different kind of pain we would feel. Believe.
