What is Love?

What is love
but death to all
a tear to cry
a lonely call

What is love
a happy life
a lovely smile
unending strife

what is love
a painful path
a broken heart
a shattered laugh

what is love
but useless pain
a world gone mad
puts all to shame

would it matter
if right now
i gave it up
and broke my vow

would it matter
if i died
and as i fell
would your eyes cry

would you realize
once i'm gone
that what you had
was just so wrong

or would you think
all through the night
that being with me
just felt so right

either way
i'll be right here
for what is love
but one more tear.
