What is It?
If love is not love
Then what is it?
How can it exist
If it's not real?
If love is not there
How do you feel it?
And what is a love
That you can't feel?
What is wanting
If you don't want it?
And needing something
That you don't need?
Why is the thing you don't need
So all powerful?
And how does it grow
If you don't plant the seed?
How does the heart decide who it loves?
Does the mind then, not play a part?
All the thoughts in the brain cannot conceive
The emotions that live in the heart.
The heart is an entity all of its own
No one can control it by will
Your mind can demand and command it
But the heart hears and goes it's way, still.
I do not want to love you
I had made no plans, you see
I didn't count on you entwining yourself
Till you became a part of me.
I didn't want to want you
I didn't need the pain
I had hurt so much from love's cruel touch
And I didn't want to hurt again.
I really tried to run away
When that feeling did approach
I resisted everything I saw in you
That my heart drew to me the most.
But the heart became my master
And my mind just sighed and left
For it knew that soon my heart would break
And that I'd find myself, bereft.
And so I am and so it did
And love's wounds have cut me deep
As my heart reached out to hold onto
Precious things it could not keep.
You tell me love cannot be real
In this place and space and time
Because your own heart does not feel
The love I feel with mine.
And though that might be true for you
That doesn't make it so
Not thinking, I reached my hands to love
And with the same hands, must let it go.
If this love is not love
Then what is it?
How can it exist
If it's not real?
If my love for you
Is not something that's true
Then tell me
What is this heartbreak I feel?
You can't tell me my mind has imagined
When my mind warned me not to partake
The mind only has one thing in common
With the heart and that's both of them break.
But only love can break a heart
That thing God gave to man
And only He knows the secret to how
Love can heal that heart again.
