Ode To a Broken Heart

Love is a horrible thing
You get wrapped up in love and all the happiness it can bring
Love for another gives you false hope
You think every thing will be alright and then your heart is snapped like a rope
Love fills the void deep in your chest
But when it is gone it is replaced with defeat and self-detest
Self hatred for getting caught up
In love that fills you only to be pored out like a cup
A saying goes that if life gives you lemons then make lemonade
In life love is sugar and once the drink has been made
Like love, you drink it all up, but then it is gone
After its gone you are left up a creek
You feel heartbroken, used, powerless and weak
Love makes you feel safe like nothing can harm
It draws you in with its allure and charm
But then it snaps you clear in two 
Leaving your eyes filled with tears that spew
So is ask myself is love really worth its cost
You open yourself up and then, all the sudden its lost.
