Love

Did you hear about the mystery,
The dreams of a wishful child,
A promise you could cling to,
A treasure of future smiles,
Did it make you count the days,
A possession of your own,
The years together...building memories,
A desire bred into the bone,
For that little thing called...Love ;

Did it make your body tremble,
Your heart skips a beat,
Did it set your soul on fire,
It's so hard to breathe in the heat,
Did you settle into the comfort,
Trust in all the future plans,
Every day laid out before you,
Bliss and happiness at your command,
It's that little thing called...Love;

Do you feel the tension,
Was it something in the eyes,
A feeling...sinking,
It was such a beautiful disguise,
Can you feel the silence,
Look around the empty rooms,
Where is the laughter,
The happy ever afters,
Had you never heard this part of the tune,
About a little thing called...Love;

Can you tell me about pain,
Could you move now if you tried,
Can you see through the watershed of tears,
Does your chest hurt from crying through the night,
Search for some understanding,
What did you do so wrong,
You did everything you thought you were suppose to,
That was the trap it had set for you all along,
That little thing called...Love;

Tell me how it raped you,
How it lured you into it's web,
Same old story from the hour of youthful understanding...
To your middle aged hopeless regrets,
It's all you ever wanted,
All they told you that you could get,
An illusion they claimed existed,
Without proof I haven't witnessed yet,
A mass delusion,
An unforgettable fantasy,
A demon that feeds off the weakness...
Of the innocent who trust in a promised myth,
In a little thing called...Love;

Maybe you will recover...
Just enough to try again,
This time it will be different,
Another nightmare begins,
With a smile...heart skips a beat,
No fear...have no fear,
Tension...deceit,
Disbelief,
No fear...have no fear,

It's just a little thing called...Love :
