Power of Love

Love is a sweet and gentle emotion

Brewed in the heart with deep devotion

A source of comfort, joy, and bliss

That fills the soul with endless peace

Yet love is also a double-edged sword

That can pierce the heart and leave it sore

Inflicting wounds that refuse to heal

A painful reminder of how love can feel

It starts with a simple flutter in the chest

A feeling that can't be ignored or repressed

A yearning to hold, to touch, to kiss

A longing for the one who makes our heartbeat

But when love is unrequited or betrayed

It leaves us shattered and dismayed

The promises made, the vows sworn

All turn to dust as the pain is borne

Love is a powerful force indeed

Capable of healing and making us bleed

A reminder that even in the darkest hour

Love's pain will always have the power

To make us stronger,  wiser, and brave

To show us how to rise from love's grave

And find new light in the darkest night

With a heart that's mended, ready to take flight.
