love


Love is like an old rusty knife Or a soft breeze on a morning tide It can bring you comfort like a warm cup of tea on a winter night Or leave you out to die like a stranded shore after the tide One reminds you of the summer beaches And the other reminds you of sleepless nights asking why Love makes your inner child alive It can also be the reason why it died But one cannot find love in anyone else Until they have found it in themselves.
