Life is a form of
Cruel and unusual
Punishment
We as humanity just watch
Lifes favorite torture device
Is our own hearts
Life likes to play a game
With our hearts
We tease ourselves
With this idea of love
So much our heart
Yearns for it
We crave it
We crave warmth
And flesh, and perfection  
We crave for a love that
Simply does not exist
We trick our own minds
Truly believing that love is
Something beautiful
Yet in reality
Its  earth shattering
And utterly heart breaking
If you have ever believed
You were in love and liked it
You were so wrong
Life will use love the same way
You use a carrot on a stick
Tease you, trick you In to falling
It waits until the moment is just right
Then you're whole world
Will Come crashing down
The beauty of life
Will you leave you
Trembling
Gasping for your Own breath
Soaked cheeks
And a ruin fantasy.
But if you're lucky
Life will show mercy
It will show you a truly  
Mesmerizing gift
True love
This one still beats you black and blue
Yet this one will dry your tears
Makes you coffee in the morning
Guards your heart
So life cant ever hurt it again
You only get one
One true love
Its not an easy type of love
Life will make you fight for it
Claw at the walls
Break the glass
It will make you go crazy
But if you manage to beat life
In this truly twisted game
You will forever be grateful
For the cruel and usual love
