The Slippery Slope of Love
Love is a complex and interesting thing
It amazes us, no matter how we swing
It can save you from trouble, free you from pain,
But sometimes, there isn't any gain.
Love can be daunting and haunting and rough
It can drive you mad, make your life tough
But love can be fun, beautiful, and free
It can linger forever inside you and me.
It can wriggle and struggle and slither away
Or, it can make the dark nights into beautiful days
Love can confuound, it can hurt, it can burn
But sometimes that pain is the best way to learn.
Overall I believe that love is needed
For those that have won, and those defeated
Love is a cure, a potion of grace
It quickens the heart, increases its pace.
Make sure to learn to love, but learn from it too
Suffer the heartbreaks, you can definetly get through
And at the end of the road, you will truely know
What joy really is, and where you're destined to go.
