Thorns of Love

[Erasmas]

Thorns of Love:

 

The broken smile of half my heart,

Stained by an impure kiss.

The stolen tears of half my soul,

Lost to love's abyss.

 

But even broken smiles fade,

And stolen tears will dry.

A kiss becomes a memory,

But the love still makes me cry.

 

Time heals all wounds,

Or so we have been told.

But does it really,

Or does new pain replace the old?

 

If our past shapes who we are,

And prepares us for the ride,

Why won't a callous grow?

Why won't the pain subside?

 

Indeed, ignorance is bliss,

While in learning you will find:

Love, a wilted flower now,

Leaves a thorny stem behind.

+1 for you!! I love it!! really well written....I love the whole thing but my favourite part is

"Time heals all wounds,

Or so we have been told.

But does it really,

Or does new pain replace the old?"
