Is love not the greatest weapon? It spins you ‘round and ‘round
Only to shove you into the deepest depths of the ocean,
Then resurface as the morning sun rises to greet you;
And pushes you under again.
 
If you try to run from it,
It only pulls you closer
Sealing your untimely fate.
 
It breaks more hearts
Than swords could ever pierce
Even though the heart stays beating
While it gets ripped apart.
 
Though it lures us into its trap,
Nobody can escape it,
No; not one.
 
It breaks us and bends us
But we still yearn and wish
For that feeling love gives us
When somebody falls into the trap with you.
 
How rare does this happen,
Two strangers falling to their fate together.
This is the reason why
Love is the greatest weapon of all.
It may be the greatest feeling in the world, but it also breaks more hearts than anything else. Yet nobody can avoid it.

Wrote this a couple days ago as I was about to go to bed. It seems as though I always get inspired right before I sleep... weird. Anyways, I hope you like this! Comments and favs greatly appreciated! :D

It absolutely is. The truth of this poem is too hard to bear. 

Very beautiful work!
