“The Power of Love”


The power of love can bring peace or can destroy.
All that people want is love that is full of joy.
Love is very painful when you’ve been hurt by it.
Keep away from painful love.  Stay away from it.

The power of love is so unpredictable.
Over time, the good in love can turn harmable.
For the ones with broken hearts, I can feel your pain.
Remember your great moments and ignore your pain.

Everyday, I see people lonely and depressed.
Deep inside, I see their pain that makes them depressed.
Life is painful without love.  Life is very rough.
I know what it can feel like when the pain gets tough.

See how powerful love is and watch out for it.
And you must be alert and be aware of it.
Most people have seen and felt the power of love.
Anyone can get hurt by the cruelness of love.

Realize what love can do.  Keep away from it.
I don’t want you to get broken hearted by it.
Everyday, I cry at home feeling so lonely.
See what love has done to me.  Love has destroyed me.

Hear the people around you.  They’ve been hurt so bad.
Anyone that I look at, seem depressed and sad.
Remember, the power of love could destroy you.
Please help others with their pain and let them help you.
