Stupid or Cupid?

Is love a chain or a fence?
Is love a monument?
Is love a bridge from here to there?
Is there still love anywhere?

Is love empty, Is love dirty?
What is the cost, what is the price?
Is love only for the select or,
Could love ever be for me?

Could love be a stupid dance?
Is love simply a romance?
Does love happen just by chance?
Is love a stray arrow or a lance?

Does love hurt?
Does love heal?
Does it listen,
Is love real?

Is love worth fighting for?
Or will it abandon me
Leaving me broken on the floor?
Will love really set me free?

Is love mine for the taking?
Is love me forsaking
All that once I knew?
All I thought was true?

Is love cruel for the sake of truth?
Is love a bird in a cage?
Is it an opponent to engage
Or a bees nest not to enrage?

Is love letting go forever,
Is love never saying never?
Is love leaving
Is love cleaving?

Is love a father or a lover?
Is it from me or from a brother?
Is love something I can feel?
Is it something I can do?

Is love isolating me from others
Taking away all old friends
Saying goodbye to mothers?
Is love laying down my life
And taking up anothers?

Is love letting go?
Is love something that I want?
Is love something that I have?
Is love the answer?

Begin life anew.
A new name,
A new home.
A new love.
Is love mine?
