Oh, four letter word. . . . .

Oh four letter word, little four letter word Why are you so much trouble? You get inside us Into the air we breathe You are more infectious than the common cold And as un-treatable as an addiction to oxygen You are the easiest thing and most basic thing we look for, and yet you are the hardest to find Or are you? Are you hard to find, Or we blind? Are you a disease, an addiction Or are you the cure? Are you inside us, Or are we inside you? Are you trouble, Or are we? Are you a feeling Or the space between where we do things not because they are good for us But because they are good for them Him Her A feeling, or the space between Or are you the thing that made us That formed us That made the world broken Because we cannot experience love if we are not broken, not really Love Are you God?
