Love or hate
Friend or foe
In this world
Who’s to know?

Friends betray
With a Judas’ kiss
And lovers too
Your heart dismiss

How cruel the fate
That lets you care
Then leaves your heart
In bitter despair

The heart is tender
And easily bruised
And consequently
Frequently used

Love and pain
They come together
To rejoice in one
You must suffer the other

That’s the way
This harsh world turns
To be warmed by the fire
You sometimes must burn
