Love...

I have felt and thought I had found love so many times
Only to be fed unrequited Dear John lines
Some day, I'm assured, the love I seek will come along
I write about how I perceive its beauty in my song
I know that there are thorns in bed of roses
Hidden in the words that one proposes
Promising the earth and a whole lot more
Makes me wonder if women and we men really are at war
So many times, I've heard a woman say
You are the one, but now you have to pay
Not with money, although that comes into the equation
But with the heart and soul, paying for so-called emancipation
Well, your actions are far louder than your words my dear
In this silence what is it that you fear?
Have we all been hurt beyond belief?
That now we just create for one another so much grief
It makes me sad to see love abused in such a fashion
When, I have so much heartfelt energy and passion
I have my limitations, the thread is running thin
Still I open my heart and soul to let you in
Only, you flit undecided, unsure, wait for what?
Someone sexier, someone with something you imagine I haven't got.
There's not much difference between us all
Just this innate fear that if we give, we'll only fall
Trust is the truly important thing
Not the promises that are attached to a gold ring
Ah, if only, we could learn to allow each to be
Together, one another, free...
