Young love is an escape
from blood and sweat
and lasts an eternity
through tears and death
and lifts spirits up
in the midst of shock and awe
and feels close to freedom.

Deep love is letting go
of the fear of loss
it gives the gift
of having some time off
from the obsession
of religion
and how to survive.

Heartbreaking love is cruel
and radiates with pain
doesn't go away
like a blood stain
doesn't let you breath
with full capacity
nor let's you forget about
this compromise of life.
