Do you believe?


Do you believe in soulmates?

Do you believe in the concept of love?

Do you know how powerful one’s love could be if chained too long?

Do you believe in romance, in tragedy? In Love At First Sight?

Do you understand how one’s very mind can shatter under such spells? Are you aware how many lives have been stolen in the beautiful name of the world’s deadliest weapon, Love?

Are you able to comprehend how important Love is in one’s life, despite being able to take so many away so easily?

Love is as a diamond sword–beautiful, but made to kill.

Love is as a square of chocolate–sweet, yet hypnotizing and obsessive.

Oh, if only I could count how many died at Love’s hand.

Oh, if only I could begin to measure how many weep over not meeting their One.

Oh, if only Love wasn’t as beautiful as it is cruel.
