Love

What is love

but a caricature of peace?

A state of mind

Or a state of being

Being in love

Controls the thoughts

Of rage and war

Of pain and hurt

What would happen

If love was gone?

Would you care?

Would you leave

and never turn back?

Would you sleep

Without a wink

Then wake up

and realize what

you have been missing?

I could walk a million miles

and live on your love

but if you never love back

I'll die half way

I won't return

Then when you see I'm gone

Your eyes will really open

a phrase will pass your lips

"I love you"

But it's too late

you're too late

Open your eyes

before your love is taken away
