Mirrors

I thought love didn’t exist

Because nothing can break your heart but love

If you love, you become weak

Those you love can hurt you so bad

I thought love was for wimps

Loving took too much effort

There is more hate than love in this world

Love was what killed me

I thought love was the answer

When it really brought pain and exploitation

Lies and deception buried under love

Complex rhythms of agony forms love

But that’s what I thought

Until I looked in the mirror

Until I looked into your eyes

And saw your love
