The Gory Side of Love

"Love conquers it all"
Or does it??
Love isnt always about ,
Kisses,flowers and candle-lit dinners,
Or about happily ever after,
There is another side of love too,
The unromanticised version

Being on the wrong side of unrequited love,
Or the love that never ties down into socially 
Accepted bonds like marrige,
Or when love just dies a natural death,
And this my dear is,
THE GORY SIDE OF LOVE"
Is this form of love any less Pure?

It impacts us just as "True' love does,
Feelings become obsessions,
We loose ourselves,
Do things we normally wouldnt do...

It even ends in the same way,
Hurting us visciously,
Causing pain that cannot be willfully forgotten,
Leaving a darkness in our soul,

But darkness always paves way for ,
New light...a New love...
And over a time,
The pain lessens and the wounds heal,
Leaving behind 
just a faded tell-tale scar....
