Is There a Dark Side to Love?

Is There a Dark Side to Love?

Is there a dark side to love?

Isn't love always perfect?

That's the way its supposed to be...

Love has its dark side,

One not always recognized...

Love seems imperfect, at best.

In retrospect, 

Those who love grow wiser...

Sometimes, but not always.

Love, supposedly perfect,

Is yet imperfect...

So wise, so late....too late.

From shades of light

To shades of dark...

Love runs the full gamut.

Love has the absence

And the presence of color...

With many shades of each.

The presence, the absence of love,

The insecurity of love...

Part of love's reality.
