IT'S LOVE (c) Copyright 2011
Clearly I had shut the door
My last cry, there'd be no more
Attempts at love staunchly ignored
Through with heartache, I ensured
Like cracking a walnut to reach its core
No one or nothing could enter this door
Without risking a break, and me in pieces
I longed for the day my anguish ceases
Yet somehow my barriers left me deceived
Though I scarce know the moment love was conceived
Love has a way of breaking down walls
Seeping through crevices, paying the cost
Lighting the way, when all hope is lost
How did this happen, this act of treason
My heart knows no limits now, my soul no reason
Left speechless, helpless, passion bespoken
My last line of defense is broken
It's love...

My heart knows no limits now, my soul no reason
Left speechless, helpless, passion bespoken
My last line of defense is broken
