Analysis of Dark Love
At first it blinded me
with its glorious beauty
it glowed like the sun
and made me feel like number one
But like a hurricane
in the blink of an eye it came
as if a angry sea
it rushed to swallow me
It covered me in its flame
showing me true pain
like a blackened dove
this was the darkness in love
