[Brandon]

What is love that has no pain?
A risk worth taking in a win-lose game?
Is it better to be single and alone?
Or making promises not set in stone?

Love has bounded me to its chain;
the victim of rape and I'm to blame.
Torn by her beauty and the stars she's shown;
the life I live no longer my own.

Deprived of her love is worse than death:
the heart stops instead of ripped from chest.
Ever her sweat can be the elixir I need;
her voice can grant the ability to see.

Love has managed to change who I am;
no longer a child but a frightened man.
I've been strongly affected by everything she's said;
been broken down till the point I've bled.

Is this love real or is it a dream?
Am I her servant, and she the queen?
Am I to walk blindly to the light?
or live alone in an endless night?

This is the love that puts man to test;
is she my end or have I been blessed?
I will stand strong until I fall;
my angel, Kathleen, will have it all.
