(Music opens to the ABC News theme) <br /> <br />Next door a pretty girl crying for the love she had and lost <br />Her pain is so deep, I hear her weep <br />Her whole world convulses, in torment she sleeps <br />Her thoughts are unhappy, life’s so unfair <br />It’s tough being fifteen, hey we’ve all been there <br /> <br />Love’s a double edged sword <br />That heals or wounds the purest heart <br />It can bring you joy, or carve the deepest scar <br />Love’s a double edged sword, to be won or lost <br />Some have loved better, some have not <br />Love’s a double edged sword <br /> <br />By the window sits a lady drinking coffee from a long black cup <br />She looks so fragile, she looks so alone <br />Waiting for her love, but he hasn’t shown <br />It’s not the first time, it won’t be the last <br />Being stood up is such a pain in the arse <br />I know how she’s feeling, love is such a curse <br />But there are some things that are worse <br /> <br />Love’s a double edged sword <br />That can heal or wound the purest heart <br />It can bring you joy, or carve the deepest scar <br />Love’s a double edged sword, like Excalibur lost <br />Some have shown love better, some forgot <br />Love’s a double edged sword <br /> <br />From the theatre walks a lady dressed in diamonds and designer gear <br />Her husband left her, he died three years ago <br />Now she lives with her memories and cat Alamo <br />She knows she is lucky, she smiles a lot <br />She lives life in the heart and she minds not <br />Time is so precious, enjoy all that you can <br />Tomorrow you could be right there where she stands <br /> <br />Love’s a double edged sword <br />That can heal or wound the purest heart <br />It can bring you joy, or carve the deepest scar <br />Love’s a double edged sword, to be won or lost <br />It's better to have loved, than to have not <br />Love’s a double edged sword <br /> <br />Copyright Colin Coplin 2004 / 2010<br /><br />Colin Coplin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-s-a-double-edged-sword/
