An unexpected connection
Excitement and euphoria
Short-lived joy
In the name of love

Undue endurance for a cheat
Immature hold of a self-centered
Foolish plea for change
In the name of love

Selfless sacrifices
Non yielding investments
Irrecoverable loses
In the name of love

Blood shot eyes
Heavily soaked sheets
So many tears
In the name of love

A heavy head
A broken heart
All this pain
In the name of love

Irrevocable regrets
Unrelenting bitterness
Undying quest for revenge
In the name of love

Maybe I will someday trust
Maybe I will one day love
But never again will I be so distraught
Not in the name of love.
