I smile when I catch God watching me through the eyes of a horse. <br /> -Kevin Weatherby


What am I?
I am caught easily by desperate hands
and sometimes carelessly used
I always have the upper hand
and tell you what to do

I am sweet and pour with passion
on all your fragile hearts
I give one-hundred-ten percent
from the place it always starts

But don't you dare be fooled by this
for I can be wicked and unkind
Because if you don't see the truth
heartbreak is what you'll find

I'll rip myself right out of you
and watch those tears cascade
I'll only reach out to comfort you
if you regret the things you did

I make you numb and weak
and make your heart skip beats
I never stop until it hurts
until your body screams

I bear, believe and endure all things
and never seek my own
I am the greatest of the three
and never is provoked

So what am I?
Or who am I?
The answer's at the door
You only have to open it
and accept me inside your soul

Love, love, love, love, love...it means so much for such a tiny little word. But we human people like to take this caring little word and twist it and bend it until it is unrecognizable. Love isn't always good...it is only good if you choose to use it in a good way. Otherwise, it can tear you apart until the only part of you that is left is the part nobody wants. We are in charge of it, unless you let love control you. And that...we do not want.
