Love

Love is a confusing thing it clouds the mind and ensnares the heart,
From the begining it takes over it slowly tears you apart,
Seducing your better judgement in its subtle yet lethal way,
Killing you slowly as it poisons your soul day by day,
It leeches itself upon you until its all that you know,
And once it grabs ahold of you its next to impossible to let go.
And as addictive as it is, like an intoxicating drug so sweet,
Like a smiling stranger you just cant help but greet,
That you never suspect it can do what it can do,
Yes you've heard the stories but that cant happen to you,
So you give yourself over and accept it with open arms,
You've been bought, seduced, by its tricks and its charms.
And just when you think you have it all everything falls apart,
And you realize nothing hurts as much as a wounded heart.
So you're left alone to wallow in your shame,
and with a broken heart you realize,
Nothing....
Will ever again be the same.
