Love is like a double edged sword...

One side, you have

All the happiness in the world

On the other, you have

The heartache and pain

No matter what anyone says,

There is no way to get

The better side without the other...

Once it strikes your heart,

With the elation of joyful abandon,

The darker side hides in the shadows,

Lurking like a wraith~

Waiting to make an appearance...

Though it may possibly sound cynical and bitter,

This is emphatically an observation made

By one that has been scored,

Pierced deeply by both sides
