The Paradox of Love

There is one constant in this world, it’s all around for us to see.
It can show you each one of your failures, or a future that will never be.

Every aspect will be affected, sometimes good and sometimes bad.
This constant will always remind us of a life that we once had.

How long can any of us suffer, how many tears can we cry?
Will heartstrings reattach, should we even really try?

Can one moment full of passion ever fix the price of light?
Is true love worth the exit, or will it just fade into the night?

To have love unbridled with loss, is like a cloud absent of rain.
You can’t have one without the other, and the cost is always pain.

Is it better to have loved and lost if it rips your world apart?
If your quest is for the truth, then just ask a broken heart.
