Love is that which weakens us

Yet also makes us strong

And in that love is solace

Unless ‘tis gone horribly wrong

Love can build us to the sky

Or tear us down to Hell

Love can make our dreams come true

Or rend and tear and kill

Love can make the world turn round

And make it as if drew

By some golden, celestial hand

Who only cares for you.

And even re-color the sky

To erase that shade of blue.

And, my love, the best part yet:

All of this: for you.
