Standing here in the present of peers is "love" The word the knife the fool the deceiver A tyrant filled to the brim with good intentions Only to leave confusion and chaos in it's wake
The accused pleads no wrongdoings But evidence proves otherwise The dying heart The unhearing ear The voiceless pain The witnesses to the marauder that disguises itself within a word
Here stands "love" Charged with extortion Robbery Vandalism Assault Crimes of passion But crimes nonetheless Claiming it's victims with a poison in the thorns of a rose The shiv made from a pen Slicing through their better judgement and sanity
Here stands "love" Barely containable Roaring, foaming at the mouth A twisted creature unrecognizable behind it's mask A mask of a word that abounded in wonder and grace That was ripped from it's seams in a world of horrors Here stands "love"
