Love Exposed

Why is it that love, like dope gets you high
Then leaves you graveling with withdrawal pains in the loneliness of the night

How is that love makes you blind to the truth,
Ignoring all the signs and omens that are right in front of you

What gives us the audacity to believe that we could be one of love’s chosen few, only to realize that love is never even about you

How can love become so twisted
Like an illusion that never really existed

What makes the heart believe in something that it can’t control, yet tries to hold when it’s time to let go

Where can you hide when love is seeking you
How do you cope when it leaves

The complexities of love are only a match for its mysteries.
It eludes the smartest of us yet convinces us that it’s something we need.

Its allure draws you in and compels you to hold on, even though your heart can’t take the pain anymore.

Simply put, love is a situation so deep that it defies good reason.
It holds you captive yet sets you free.

It’s never perfect and you can’t always keep it together.
But once you’ve loved, love is always forever.

I like the "what makes the heart believe..." part... so true... everyone wants and needs love... its extremely hard to let go... even if you feel deep down in your heart that its not right... losing love also makes you feel like your a failure and discourages you from loving again or even feeling capable that you can find love again...

But maybe it's just me... said...

"Simply put, love is a situation so deep that it defies good reason.
It holds you captive yet sets you free."

Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely.
