Analysis of Where Love Lies
Jamella Gross 1987 (Brooklyn NY)
Love burns like the flame on a candle.
How much more can this heart handle
Sometimes I love u, then can't stand u. All this hurt that I've been thru.
Tried to blame me when it's been u.
When will I ever be able to let go
Only my mind and my heart knows.
