Linda Ori - Blessing Or A Curse?

I now reside within my soul,
And every soul, it seems -
How else to manifest this love
For every living thing?

Though often times rejected
And neglected - still it grows -
It weeps for every broken heart
And every tear that flows;

It forges deep connections
To each lover and each friend -
A bond that's rarely broken
Even though the feelings end;

Love is not an easy thing
And often it's one-sided -
And though it's pure and honest
There are times when it's misguided;

The object of affection's glow
May not return the shining -
Still the tapestry's been strung
And love knows no declining;

Although given, never wasted,
Once released it knows no end,
Love's a powerful emotion -
Curse or blessing?

It's a blend.
