Love is a tragedy,
It is not safe or sweet,
It is cruel and cold,
Love is painful,
Layered with sorrow,
Love brings bloodshed,
Leaving scars in its wake,
Love is misunderstanding,
It tears us apart,
With confusion,
Love is broken,
Hollowness masked,
By the falsehood of joy,
Love is a promise,
Broken and abandoned,
Regarded as lies,
Well-intended lies,
Love is a pretence,
On which we lay our lives,
*Love is a tragedy
It is not safe or sweet,
It is cruel and cold,
Love is painful,
Layered with sorrow,
Love brings bloodshed,
Leaving scars in its wake,
Love is misunderstanding,
It tears us apart,
With confusion,
Love is broken,
Hollowness masked,
By the falsehood of joy,
Love is a promise,
Broken and abandoned,
Regarded as lies,
Well-intended lies,
Love is a pretence,
On which we lay our lives,
*Love is a tragedy
