It was....

I was lured by that strange belief,

That cursed myth,

Which charmed and crawled,

Into my foolish heart. 

That mysterious thing,

which passed from the lips of those long dead,

And poisoned gullible minds.

It is archaic,

Borne from where, no one knows,

A thing that should have been buried,

When light first touched the soils of earth.

A wretched thing that had tormented

A many great minds.

That insidious thing which brought death 

To those whose faith in it grew too large for their wasted hearts. 

That thing,

I think it was called,

If I remembered rightly,

It was....

LOVE.
