LOVE

we sit next to it and hold its hand
such a familiar place
so hard to understand.
we look to it for comfort
yet we shield from its demands
we allow it to change us
we take it granted
we allow it to control us
our hearts hold the damage
we continue to pursue it
unbeknowest to its end
we never work to renew it
yet we try it over again
it brings a heavy load
but allows you to feel light
it can heal the soul
it can hinder your life
we use and abuse it
the turn around and hate it
we use it as an excuse
as to why we keep on waiting
i wonder where we'd be
without the heart and mind
i wonder whats to key
to making it survive
how can the best thing in life
cause you so much pain
how cant it bring you down
but also save you from the rain
God's gift to us
is also a heavenly curse
it causes us to work
it causes us to thirst
it causes us to hate
it causes us shade
it causes us joy
when you look outside the pain
its a precious thing
that few can even define
its hidden behind the heart
concealed within the mind
but...with the good and the bad
we keep on chasing
what usually makes us sad
we love to love
to love to be loved
we fight for it
we cherish it
overall....we are IT
