Admit to your deepest desire <br />Know that your path is lined with fire <br />Crying will only get you so far <br />It won’t help you cleanse the scar <br />Put aside your want for pain <br />Watch your sorrows flush down the drain <br />Don’t think of what might have been <br />History is oozing from your skin <br />Your innocence is not on trial <br />It was your stranglehold of denial <br />That led you to these heartless crimes <br />Because everybody hurts sometimes <br />You broke up my silhouette <br />Played me like marionette <br />You put me through some days of shame <br />But I took the blows as they came <br />It was difficult but I’m still here <br />To pick you up and lead the cheer <br />So I propose a toast of truce <br />And will bury anything close to an excuse <br />Because when love is real <br />We play the cards that we deal <br />We rise up above any sham <br />And prove that we give a damn <br />It may be harder than you know <br />But no way am I letting go <br />Your are the air of my atmosphere <br />I will shout it to the heavens so all can hear <br />Love is the answer once again <br />It’s the way it’s always been<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-love-is-the-answer/
