The Trail They Call Love

Love is like a field full of landmines.

Tread lightly
It's dangerous out here
On the verge of sinking
It's not safe to be near

Many venture into the forest
None want to tell the tale
A brutal, unforgiving mountain
Countless tries 'till you prevail

Sent out into the cold
No wool to cover your skin
A test of strength, they call it
There's no sign of the war's end

They say it's greener on the other side
The sunshine is warmer, too
But first, you must scale Everest
Find the one that says, "I love you."

We climb the stairs to heaven
We ride the highway to hell
He enjoys our endearing failure
He chuckles, but wishes you well

Author's Note

I said before that this was about love, but it could be about life or any hardships in general.
