Fire and Ice

What was once unbreakable
Is now broken
What was once fire
Is now ice

What was once forever
Is now never
What was once found
Is now lost

What was once treasured
Is now forgotten
What was once love
Is now hate

Amazing how time
Can change all things
A slight mistake
And tis all gone

Why can we not
Accept these mistakes
Forgive them, and then
Move on in time

For we are all human
We all make errors
And love lets us
Forgive these failings

Then love would not end
But carry on
Yet we cannot forgive
Why I know not

I see many failings
In people all around
Yet I do not judge
They are who they are

And upon thee
I gaze with love
I see not your errors
Only your strengths

Yet friends of mine
Could not stand
The force was too strong
Love did not hold

But love should hold
Because, in the end
Love is all we have
Love is all we need

With time and effort
Love will grow
And bind us together
Like birds of a feather

And should others
grow angry at our love
Ignore them and continue
For love is all we have

Yet I'll not force you
If you indeed wish it
You may go, but remember
I'll always love you
