The Black Cave

I want to go to the black cave down there 
but there is no light to guide me through dark 
and it would bring me harm, my life to spare 
and so right here is where my feet are parked 

It is quite an end that one can travel to 
but I go through the cave to find the end 
I want to go to find my way to you 
and right there with you, I will start to mend 

Love can cause those to make quite the bold choice 
they risk them, their life, and who knows what else 
just to see their love, hear their love, their voice 
it seems love has the best stories one tells 

and so the cave stands there and waits for me 
Love is the one, to go past what I see
