The L-Word

The rhythmic contractions of your heart,

That pound so unnaturally erratic.

Of such a mystery it comes,

Yet stated so clearly in science.

The cynical pain of heart ache,

Simply tearing you apart.

Oh what love truly blinds!

The fools and the foes~

And into its lovely embrace it certainly woes~

Of such tragedy as it comes to strike.

Lessen the pain of what love can bring.

Now gaze farther past the light in my eyes,

And venture deep into my soul.

You'll find the truths as well as the lies,

That this presumptuous four lettered word,

known to all as the fools treasured L-word.
