Love Insisting



Love gone wrong gets twisted
Turns itself to hate
No longer resisted
Waiting at the gate
The cold fire enlisted
To turn love away
Can burn out of control

Nothing personal
Just business he said
From his arsenal
But now that man is dead
Ironically
And here I am instead

I learned the hard way
How a vendetta can
Put holes in the soul
Of an embittered man
Twisting destiny

The twisted insisted
That hate was my fate
That inevitably
Blood would have its say
That someday I would see
It was family

But having persisted
I love anyway
Love says never too late
Whatever may be
So my soul remains whole
That was always free

I appreciate
Love insisting on me

It is interesting how love and hate, while opposite, are so closely intertwined when it comes to relationships. Interesting to contemplate.

All we need is love.

Yes, "love anyway". It's the better of the two choices, Steven. You've always been a free soul. Keep on loving!!!

Love ya!

Jane
