OctPoWriMo 2016: Day 22: Dangerous



Dangerous

Love is something so dangerous
Something from which the wise one flees
Forever the domain of fools
Love brings warriors to their knees

So dangerous, so venomous
 Like snakes, spiders and Man O War
You are left begging for mercy
When your love don't want you no more

Love was nothing I was seeking
It was what I tried to avoid
But when you came around, I fell
Even though I might be destroyed

You are dangerous to my heart
You could take what little is left
You could rip my soul to pieces
You could leave me wishing for death

I wish I could trust what you say
But so many have done me wrong
I'll try to trust and to believe
I'll pour my soul out in  a song

Now that I've found you, don't leave me
I want to be yours for all time
Promise you won't abandon me
And leave me alone and crying
