Love Lies

by Jasmin
(Ohio)

Nobody can realize that love can hurt,

nobody can realize that love can lurk.

Everybody thinks love is sweet and nice,

but it's just as sweet as getting lice.

Love can lie,

Love can die,

Love can holler and scream,

Love can be gentle as a stream.

Sometimes it's like a bird,

and it can bloom with a single word.

Sometimes love will never end,

but sometimes it will fly with the wind.
