Love

Sun, 12/22/2013 - 18:45 -- Zard

You never understand it
Even as you feel it
It's your saving grace
And your damnation to hell
The light in the darkness
And the darkness itself
Consuming you
Trapping you
But you never want to escape
It's soft as silk
But will give you the hardest decisions of your life
Because sometimes dying in place of them
Speaks the volumes your voice could never reach
Living for them sends a message equally intense
But when you let them go when they want to leave
That speaks to a love so deep no other action can fathom.
Because it isn't fancy claims spoken
Nor action happening between the two that show love
It is the final act
Selfless love in the end is true love
