All I Want is to Love

All I want is to love
That's what this is all about

This holding on
This grasping
This wanting
This yearning
This craving

To love in the midst of pain
Of fear
Of anger
Of rejection
Of betrayal
Of abandonment

It's why I keep coming back
Over and over again
Breaking my heart
Over and over again
Until there's nothing left to break

Shattered into a million pieces
Over years
Decades
Millenia
Eons

Wear it down until there's nothing left
No armor
No defenses
No protection
No excuses

Nothing to get in return
But Love
