Oh, the cruelty of emotion 

It plays games with my heart 
and doesn’t tell me the rules 

Overwhelming my mind 
And seeping into my limbs 

I am a powerless spectator 
to the power of emotion 

Oh, the beauty of emotion 

Gift from God, 
Depth of life 

Butterflies warming my heart 
And flying me through dreams 

Songs and poems would be powerless 
without the power of emotion
