Never ending questions from the heart

There is a question from the heart
that i have be known to ask
is love a real love or is it lust?
why do we try to hide behind this mask?
does it make us feel loved
does it make us feel used
does it hide our scars
and fade our darkest bruise?
does it make us feel good
does it make us feel prud
is it something we want to share
something to yell out loud?
is this love true love
or is it fake
does it come when we are asleep
and remain when we awake
does love truly love
or does love truly hate
is love just a thing
in which we all participate?
do we just love for ourselves
or do we love for another
when we say these words out loud
to we mean it, ask eachother...
so when i say i love you
will i mean it,
or will it be wrong
will the moment of scilence
be short or long?
will i ever love you
is this something i should know?
should i stay to find out
or should i turn around and just go?
