Mean Faces of Love

Love has two faces 
This I surely know
Which one I see today
I don't rightly know.

At times it is so beautiful
Makes me feel complete
Other times it can be vicious,
I often times get beat.

Wouldn't it be wonderful
If love would never go
To that dark dangerous place,
A place I do dread.

Settle for the happy times,
They are far and few
I must wake up and leave this man 
While alive, and still in view.
