Love

They say love is a gift, beautiful and bright                                                          

And where darkness prevails, it shines a new light                                

Or a passionate fire that blazes within                                                 

A virtue that conquers or borderlines sin                                           

They say with love, a broken man becomes whole                          

They say that love can satisfy a lost soul                                             

They say it’s a feeling so rich and pleasant                                         

With an intense desire most have only dreamt                                 

They say that love is difficult to obtain                                    

But the sacrifices are well worth the pain                                           

So how far will one go to retain this love?                                          

Can it be worth a rejection from above?                                            

The place above where this feeling first began?                               

Where an act of true love was done for all men?                             

They say that I’m headed for the place down below                       

Only because of this feeling in my soul                                                

How can my love be damned if their love is blessed?                     

How can it come from the place where it’s banished?                   

If I’m damned, then it’s a sacrifice I’ll make                                       

A sacrifice for love, the punishments I’ll take                                    

I’ll never know Heaven because of who I love, they say                

But it’s just a lie, with love, I see heaven every day
