Tell Me About Love

Tell me about love
And I will show you two strangers
Tell me about love
And I will show you hate sprayed on walls
Tell me about love
And I can hear them laughing

Because I am simple enough
To believe that love can destroy
Love can kill everything you wanted
Love interrogates
Love annexes territory
In a war without ending

The searing conflict
That rages between two people
Neither understanding what the other truly wants or needs

Tell me about love
And I will show you a picture
Tell me about love
And I will show you war
Tell me about love
And I will run to the shelter
And hide there
While the battle rages over head

Inside my mind
I see us together
Inside my mind
I see us as one
And nothing can demand
A name
A place
A sense of wonder
