To Question Love

Where is love if not the heart
if not in every beat
if not the very life in you
what holds love from retreat?

But what is love if only lost
if swiftly swept away
if all you hold so dear to you
can fade within a day?

And when does love fade from the heart
if taken, but still remains
if it steals your very breath from you
when do you love without pain?

And how is love worth all the risk
if hearts just beat to suffer
if pain just grips and suffocates
what does love have to offer?

Yet, when is love worth all the risk
if it gives wings to fly
if it holds the key to every heart
how can love not be our lives?
