Analysis of Love Is a Two-Way War

Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)



Love is a two-way war,
Love and every hatred.
Just don’t leave a scar,
Beaten till I am so red.

Love can have wounds,
It can have battle scars.
Preach death very soon,
Love steals all of the hearts.

Stealing everyone’s battles,
Just it’s so two-way war.
My God, all love saddens,
Leaving any type of a scar.

God shall have been a witness,
Just love ain’t all that pretty.
It’s never had its forgiveness,
Love isn’t all about its lovey.
