Love is a Double Edged Sword


Love is hated,

Love is craved.

 

A man wants the hold of a woman.

A woman wants the kindness of a man.

 

A man wants to hold with powerful hands a small neck,

A woman wants the kindness to keep pouring through bitter tears,

 

Love could be twisted, those words I used before,

love is a double edged sword, but the clean edge is the brightest. 

 

A man wants the hold of a woman.

A woman wants the kindness of a man.

 

The man will hold the woman through feet of mud.

The woman will revitalize a discouraged man. 

 

Love is a double edged sword, for better or for worse,

love hurts, but not as much as when it is lost.
