Love is cruel

Love is cruel
Without a doubt
There is nothing 
That can be more brutal

Love will knock you down
Strangle you, make you gasp for breath
You cry out on your knees
Love laughs, as you slowly drown

Finally, love lets us to our feet
And gives a warm embrace
Then shoves you down again
And gives another beat

The pain is bad
Yet, we all go for love
Knowing what can happen
Perhaps, we are all a little mad
