Double Edge Sword

How many times must a heart be broken

Before it fails to beat once more

When will the mind see the pattern

Love is a double edge sword

 

One edge is warmth and beauty

Laced with adrenaline

That makes your heart race

Just by a glance

A gentle touch

Or passionate kiss and embrace

 

The second edge is ice cold

Brings darkness to life

Laced with a poison

That kills the soul

Empties the heart

Each cut deeper and more precise

 

Bring out the armor

Protect the heart

Don’t be the next victim

Of the double edge sword.
