Perils of Love

How canst thee know,
The perils of love,
Without ensnaring thy heart,
With that of another,
How canst thee know,
The hardships and heartache,
The bliss and emotional peaks,
The harsh battles of disagreement,
The relief of making up,
Without opening thyself to possibility,
How canst thee know,
If thou art a hardened shell,
If thou hast no dreams,
Or will of thy own?
