The Dagger of Love

trust isn't a must
left me in the dust
Judas and Brutus
caused less of fuss
a dagger from with in
is worse than any sin
love has many faces
and a few disgraces

Ouch! To the point and brief, I really like this poem :) It kinda brought back to mind every time I was stabbed by the dagger of love...

Thank you Andrea! Rather do lines that rhyme than other lines.

Both the Everly Brothers and Nazareth said it. "Love Hurts". Short, but sweet write.
