Love--Wow... Isn't that special

Love,
Love is a many splendid thing,
Love is the leap that won't be denied,
All you need is love,
Love conquers all.
Well
That's all well and good
But...
Love doesn't pay the bills
Love doesn't put food on the table
Love won't stop a lover's fist
Love won't stop a lover's forbidden tryst
Love given
Will not always be returned.
Yes
It sounds cynical I know
But...
It's a fact on both ends
Love is bullshit
Love is blind
Love is passion
And sometimes love dies.
But one thing I know
Beyond the shawdow of any doubt
Is that love
Despite it's pain
It's disillusionments
It's unforgiviable betrayals
Despite everything
Love...
Is worth it.
