Tears fall like rain
On a frozen lake,
And every bit of warm water
Melts the ice just a little more.
So if through my pain
I can help you,
Let me feel it-
Give me agony,
Anguish,
Torture me-
Put me through Hell
If it will help you to Heaven.
Author notes
This is what love is. Love is not a warm fuzzy feeling you get when you're with someone, it is the willingness to sacrafice yourself for someone else.

WOW!
Thanks I really like this piece! Very true. I belive that once you are willing to give everything up for someone else, you truly love them. I like how you demonstrate that with the last three lines. Very beautiful! Best of Luck!

wonderful
I was drawn to this poem by the idea of 'tears on a frozen lake'. That line sent my senses wondering and now I have read your whole poem. I think it is a wonderful expression of love, with a metaphor so unique, that it is one I will always remember.
