Bloodied water
The greatest phenomenon known to man is the concept of love
When love is taught, it is taught to be regarded as gentle and kind
And truly, love can be gentle, love can be kind
Except for when it isn’t
In the same way that water can be calm
Except for when it isn’t
A stream is seen as beauty, it is pure
A storm is hectic, destructive, even deadly in a category six
But water and in all of its forms, is a universal basic necessity for life
Without water our bodies self-destruct
Like water, love is viewed as beauty, it is pure
But too much of either and you drown
And with time, even a calm stream can corrode stone
And with time, love can corrode the soul
Even with the hundreds of faces love shows, it is bloody, gory
The silent killer
And it is with this blood that the pretty picture of love is painted
On stretched canvas, mistakes cannot be afforded
Oh, love
Came so easily, but refuses to go
My hands are bloodied now
Maybe some water can rinse you off
