Is Love Enough?
Is love enough
Love cannot stop a man from moving
It cannot change a person, place or thing
Love cannot build a ladder for escape
It cannot kiss away my broken brain
Love is merely a chance, if that
It favors the rich and merry
Love is merely a hormone, in reality
It provides a distraction for the empty
Love is nothing
But a game you pay to play
Love is anything
But seeing the world in color,
rather than shades of muddied grays
Love is everything
From dead hopes to washed up remains
Love is a lie
Promising the world,
while wrapped in timeworn chains
Love cannot save a man from death
It cannot gift you any strength
Love cannot change your feelings of pain
It cannot stop the bleeding from your veins
You think love is enough
You think it can protect and hold
You believe we can overcome the truth
But love is merely coal painted gold
You think love is more
You trust the whispers told behind masks
You believe it can open every door
But love is merely a drunkard's flask
Let me tell you a secret
A secret hidden in plain sight
Love is a fairytale story
Your knight in shining armor
are your fears clad in white
Let me tell you a secret
A secret you will refuse to hear
Love is not enough
It won't make your tears disappear.
