Love

Love, it hurts

Love, it kills

It drives people insane

It makes sane people

Do insane things

 

Love, why do I have to feel it

It barely hurts anymore

My heart

But if I love them

It bleeds

And bleeds

And bleeds

 

Why is my heart so stupid

Wanting the things it can not have

It knows I’d never allow myself to do that

But it ignores my brains protests

 

Why is the heart such a difficult thing

Why does the heart know before the brain can figure it out

 

My heart wants me to fall in love

While my brain is yelling stop

My soul stands there in the middle not knowing what to do

And then there's me

Not the brain, heart nor soul

Something else

Though I can’t figure out what

Maybe it’s all three of them

Maybe it’s a forth thing

 

It doesn’t want what the heart wants

Nor what the brain wants

Nor the soul

It wants happiness

It wants me to be happy

 

It wants a mixture of all three

It wants to show me that there is a way to love

But not be insane

Just to admire far away

But only in class

 

Nothing more

Nothing less

That’s all it wants

 

The brain stops yelling and stays silent

As it hears this new idea

The heart stops when the brain stops and starts to listen

Even the soul listens to what it has to say

And they agree

 

For the first time in the world

All three agree

 

The heart will stay going insane

But it’ll listen a little bit more to the brain

It won’t drive me to insanity

The brain will let the heart have it’s fun

But it won’t let it go too far

And the soul will care about what happens

It won’t stand there saying nothing for interdity

 

Love has a new meaning

Its kindness

It’s accepting the facts

It’s having fun

But

Knowing the boundress

 

That’s loves new meaning to me

It’s a revolution my heart, brain and soul

But it’s a good revolution

Or at least to me
