Light and Dark Sides to Love

There’s good and bad sides to everything, Some make you happy and want to sing And others make you frightened and unhappy, causing you to scream Love is a powerful word, That can make you deeply hurt, Once it begins your happy, As you get together everyone’s smiling and clapping, But after awhile things change, Like someone’s playing you as a worthless game, Then you feel the shame, This is the side you don’t want to see, Because it makes you crazy, Nothings what it should be, That’s your part of the story, You don’t know if it’s the light or dark sides of love, Will you fly like a dove Or get shoved? You’re feeling down and suicide seems like the only choice, But then you hear that beautiful voice, You open your eyes wondering why she came back, It’s obvious she loves you so and wants to get things back on track, And also wants to let you know, This is the good side of love; she tells you what you’ve been through And then says “I love you” You feel your heart regain its power and rise, Like you can never die And you realized that this memorable experience, Were the light and dark sides of love.
