Love is for the Weak

Nail Me to the Cross of Love

Kylyssa Shay
They say love is not for the weak
but all are weak before the presence of love.
Love is for all.
Love may be too much,
it may bring you to your knees,
it may break the strongest heart
but love is the sweetest burden to fall beneath.
Love is the surest path to pain
for only by knowing such excruciating joy
can one know the agony of its absence.
Nail me to the cross of love
with jagged spikes running through my beating heart.
While the pain is great,
the blood so spilled is but the tears
of joy I cried inside.
