"TO ALL THE LOVERS"

"To All The Lovers"

To all the lovers in the world

The ones whose love has failed

The unrequited tormented lover

The one's whose heart love has

only slightly brushed

The dreamers and the schemers

The long-distance afflicted

who love restricted

The virgins and the tarried

The ones that never married

The frail and the disparaged

who have suffered a miscarriage

The snipers and the stealers

The wheelers and the dealers

The brave that ripped their hearts out

and fervently held it still beating

in their hands

The cowards that hid it

 despite its gnawing pangs

and claims "no one understands"

The ones half-committed

who gave up and quitted

who now feel so estranged

The ones who sacrificed everything

in honor of its name

I pay homage to your suffering,

how much you've endured your pain,

what you could and could not give,

what you lived and could not live.

Because coward or brave hearted,

young or very old

the sinner or the sacred

the wise man or the faker

love has taken

your soul.
