The Saddest Truth Of Love And Its Deep Darker Side
Love too often acts so radically says life
Forbiddenly, it holds emotional cut scars
Cut with an on loan, long diamond edge butcher's knife
It wages battles aplenty, wrecks destructive wars
It climbs trees, soars into the high heavens above
That sadder truth I know, its darkness is jet black
Some laud its beauty amidst this world's push and shove
Yet under its spell, good sense they often do lack.
Warnings and consequences rarely do matter
But intelligence hides the truth of this sad world
Once its fever drives you mad as the Mad Hatter
Into a passion filled stupor you are hurled
Addicted your heart and soul are its new play thing
Out you go to buy her a fancy diamond ring.
