The More You Love

Love will blister Like those leaves full of grubs The more you love The more grubs will feed But you have got to be steely strong. And not just in a small way, a light breeze. You have got to walk tall. And let the mast of a ship Catch a vehement wind Till it's got nothing left Except to admit defeat And sing your name with its last breath. The more you love The more angels and demons Envy your engaging smile The more they want to throw daggers And lead you blind into a fight Not knowing who to attack. The more you have to open your heart The more you have to love And learn not to despise How they would turn all your promises into lies Look, open your eyes You are a shard of the sun, And you have only now just begun to shine.
