We are defined by our actions
Not by how much we love
although it is important to love
but we are what we do
to protect ourselves
to protect our images
to protect each other
to protect love
There are noble things in the world
That is true enough of inanimate love
The love of peace or mankind
but love is love no matter what
There is nothing worse
a person who protects himself
not protecting what is really important
not a peacemaker but a coward
There are no compromises in love
there is betrayal and duplicity
that exist outside of love
which is defined by fidelity
What does this say about my love
what does this say about me
am I capable of dishonesty
or am I capable of consistency
The middle ground we stand on
a quicksand of infidelity
it holds no promise of the future
except for a shared curse
Do we fear too much to love
our weakness overcome by passion
how can we ask anyone to stand by
and face a nonexistent future.
