Love?

What is love? 
Is it abusing them 
does it hurt?
What is love
does it end in pain and tears  
does it come from broken promises 
I wish I knew what it was  
what is love 
Is it gentle 
Does it start  with hope and joy 
does it come from trust 
I wish I knew 
what it was 
it all just a mess too me 
Nothing I could really do to understand what love is  
Does it start with you and me
