What Is Love

I feel like I'm in it, trapped by it's walls, bound to the corner where you are all I see All I need, All I think I need Is love something you find Something that binds, Lately I hear it is poetry Knowing me I might give her a letter Address her as an immaculate object Stamp it with my heart's approval... Then think Should I send it to her? "No, yes, no, yes, no, maybe later..." Love is really an argument with yourself "No it isn't, yes it is, no it isn't..." Is love temporary, is it a mental state that no one needs? God loves us more than we love him I thought love was a give and take Where both sides give and both sides take Love is the light in the abyss of darkness Where you are Helen Keller to the world Blind to what you see but not to what you feel And what you feel is right So you become a Spartan, a warrior Fighting for what is right And what is right is what you feel And what you feel is love: Passion that will make you go the extra mile Loyalty that will make you fight to the ends of the earth Strength that drives you away from the corner Courage to look at the world as an ant in your biosphere Freedom to be who you are And the Pursuit of the Happiness your heart yearns for Love
