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.
