Love's Epitaph

Did you see?
Don't tell me it was in my head.
I felt something...
It wasn't dead.
It was here,
like the breeze I felt it bend.
The essence of my soul
and just as quick
it was gone again.
Don't call me foolish!
Don't tell me I was mistaken.
I know I felt it,
then it was taken.
But for a moment
I swear it was so strong.
Engulfing me,
wrapped up in it's arms.
For that moment
I felt it in my soul.
Giving me hope
and making me whole.
Now here I sit
upon the edge of sanity.
Contemplating...
Is it still there for me?
Do I risk it?
Don't know if I can stand the pain
of letting go
Should I let love reign?
If once again
I let my heart take hold
will I regret
when it turns cold?
You see I know
love's just a weakness of the mind.
It doesn't stick
and it isn't kind.
Ripping...
all thats in it's path.
Leaving you shattered
like broken glass,
burnt deep inside.
I see and so will you someday.
Love will come knocking
and want to play.
Wondering...
then you'll do the deed
and be love's fool
just like me.
