Love is Cruel

A kindling of fire
A spark of passion
Only more could sorrow take
Show me how love is
Show me how kind
Help me understand this crazy life
I will be silent and listen
I won't utter a sound
Tell me of the glory
Of love and hope and grace

Tell me not of loves blind self
This I cannot hear
To me always companions, they are
Hope and Misery
Love and Hate
Giving and Greed
No
Tell me not of my life
For every good is there evil
Perhaps embrace life I should
Pick it up with my strife

Today and forever
The reverse do I keep
Loves' lost
An Ageless War

To tell you of my darkness
Ha! There is a fright
No, to you will I not explain
Seeing horrors and dreams crushed
It is not for you
Believe only of happiness and truth
If those you receive
How can I destroy the hopes of others?
Tell them of real love?
That would only bring insanity

No, the young should always believe
Even if nothing to believe exists
The world is dark
With it, so is love
Lingers in shadows, skulks in corners
Destroying all hope of youth and light
For if Crimson comes your way
Best hide, for your truth will fade
Crush you, destroy you, love will
Leave you to an uncertain demise
Love and Pain are secret allies

No, the children need not know
Let them believe in lies
For I know, love is cruel
But no, let fate decide
