a stabbing rush of ecstasy
governs a war-torn heart
a self-deluding mystery
breaks the soul apart
an empty verse of prose
sheds an unclear light
as blood-red as a rose
it brings tears in the night
memories only splinter
in the light of day
and bring on starless winter
which never goes away
both as dull as a truncheon
and cruel-sharp as a knife
it makes bedroom into dungeon
in which to suffer life
they say that love is strong
and will hold through sun and rain
but what they say is wrong
for love brings only pain

I like the intensity and honesty in this part :
they say that love is strong
and will hold through sun and rain
but what they say is wrong
for love brings only pain
this is awesome. Well done . Good Job.
Good Luck
Louise.
