Love

Love is and has always been a divisive emotion, 

It's a feeling that often evokes passion, 

Though it can sometimes cause friction. 

It can bring about addition and expansion, 

Or it can result in division and reduction. 

Love at times, is the embodiment of perfection, 

And at other times, it's an agent of destruction. 

Love can make you stand tall, 

Just as it can cause your downfall. 

Love can bring you healing, 

Or it can leave you reeling. 

Love can be the reason for your elevation, 

Or it can be the cause of your frustration. 

It can absolutely motivate you, 

And it can just as easily deflate you. 

Love can bring you soothing peace, 

And just as easily, it can shred you to pieces. 

Love can set you on a pedestal, 

Just as it can prove to be fatal. 

Love can make you dance for joy, 

Or it can make you go to war. 

Love can be your source of light, 

Or it can push you into a fight. 

Love can give you wings to fly, 

Just as it can make you cry. 

Love can take you places,

Or it can leave you in crisis. 

Love can give your life meaning, 

Or it can leave you completely hanging.

Love can be quite uplifting, 

Just as it can feel really sickening. 

Love can give you a purpose, 

Or it can serve up a bitter dose. 

Your whole life it can fill, 

Or it can be a bitter pill. 

When love works for you, 

It's a pretty powerful force for good. 

But when it turns against you, 

It can destroy you for good.
