Dark Side of Love

​This is a poem I wrote in 2003. I always imagine my poems set to music, but I am not good at coming up with new tunes. I imagine this one as a sort of rap while the chorus is similar to the chorus of Dream On by Aerosmith. Love it? Hate it? Let me know what you think.
​

Love isn't all
Peaches and cream
It has a dark side
A dark side, it seems
Watch out for it
Or you'll lose your mind
No matter what the man says
Love isn't kind
I drank love's wine
And found half a worm
What I thought was pleasure
Was really a germ
Just like a peach
The heart has a pit
Beware of its trap
You'll fall in it
Into the pit
You will slide
If you only knew the power
Of the dark side

Dark side of love
Dark side of love
I can't get above
The dark side of love
Take me to the other side
I can't go on
Since we split up
It's been so long

Just like the dark
It can't be seen
It's violently vicious
It's definitely mean
You don't notice
Until the light goes out
It'll make you cry
It'll make you shout
Like a black hole
It will pull you in
That man was lucky
The one made of tin
Love isn't kind
This is a fact
It may look good
But it's just an act
Now I know the eagle
Was hunting the dove
Ruining your life is easy
All you need is love

Dark side of love
Dark side of love
I can't get above
The dark side of love
Take me to the other side
I can't go on
Since we split up
It's been so long

Love has a dark side
A dark side, it seems
It's like the hot fudge
On vanilla ice cream
The pain I felt
When our seperation spread
Helped me to know
I meant what I said
When the shadows are sharp
I know why
It means that
The sun's in the sky
That's what I've learned
It took me some time
To make sweet pie
Takes sour key lime
So when things go bad
When you've had enough
You know about the power
The power of love

Dark side of love
Dark side of love
I can't get above
The dark side of love
Take me to the other side
I can't go on
Since we split up
It's been so long
