What is...?
When pain is a burden mutually shared
and destiny is left—trustingly—
in the hands of another
When bliss touches Heaven’s doors
Then suddenly drops—
And lands in the trenches of war
When an ocean away, thy long for it
but when in reach it is a forbidden fruit
When powerful hurt is a given
and eternal happiness is all but like finding the needle
Thy still desire the sweet taste of the dangling sword
Longing and wishing for its sweetness to lay on thy lips inducing paradise forever
—though sadly this cannot be
For like all, it will inevitably succumb to death
For it is love
And love is a beautiful tragedy
