What is Love?
Is love a fleeting sensation?
or is it everlasting?
Is love singular?
or multidimensional?

Can you love two people?
Can you feel the same for both?
Will one win over the other?
Or will I have to make the choise?


It started out simple
one love that was pure.
Then you canged
became someone else

You drove me away
with your fists,
Your kicks, your screams
in that angelic voice

For nine months I lived
through your love and hate
your two faces
the lover and the sword

Now I ask myself
Is it love?
Or is it different?
Is it pity for you?

I never struck back
I rarely yelled
I always supported you
I thought I loved you

But I cannot love the thing
that has possessed you
the demon temptress
you have become.

My scars still hurt
both inside and out.
Yet I can't find the words
to tell you I am gone.

Maybe I still care
Maybe I still Love Or maybe I fear For You

For you, not of you
You've fulfilled other threats
Why not this one?
That's why I care.

But is caring enough?
Does it count as love?
Is my love still true?
I don't know.

Because I don't know what love is.
