Love Was Supposed To Conquer All Poem by Tebogo Angela Poen

The bond was so strong
That we never prepared ourselves for the time when anything could go wrong
We didn't see no need
To always check in with the planted seed

We thought we had it all
But as we all know temptation occurs to us all
Just a lil trip or slip one may fall
Just a lil sleep or lose grip one may roll

What matters is what happens after
Do you fall and roll together
Or one lets the other off the ladder

Yes, love is patient, love is kind
But in some well experienced souls, such is difficult to find
It seems the seven deadly sins are planted in all the experienced souls
And love finds itself under this pressure to conquer them all
We carry in our hearts this burden that is too heavy for love

Some say it comes with the whole package
Some believe love either begets or carries a cage

A cage filled with pride, greed, lust, envy, sloth, gluttony and anger
We are simply human
Sometimes this takes part in our imperfect nature
And sometimes can make one unworthy to step into heaven

I swear the bond was too strong
We never thought anything could go wrong

She held my hand and had me take my baby steps in the garden
Man, I swear there was no fruit in there that was forbidden
It was a perfect garden

Everyday I try to trace the road back into the garden to find the root of the problem
All I find are these earthworms
Decomposing away the evidence
That somewhere in here love dwelled once

The laughter and smiles we shared
Have turned into frowns at the thought of each other
Did that love beget hatred?
Maybe that's how God and the devil now feel about each other

Remember the devil
Was once God's Angel
Who can blame him?
If your position is threatened by your lover's new set of priorities
You start exposing some feelings like insecurities

And well maybe God just had to..
I mean if your lover can't support your craft
You begin developing towards him this wrath
You begin seeing How they blocking your progress
So if you start feeling like the lover be holding you back
That they can only destroy what you tryna build
You just have to shut down the guilt
And let them off the ladder

Sad ey...
That's how strong bonds break! ! !

The bond was too strong
But none of us is ready to admit their wrongs
So I guess even though we still love each other
In this journey we can never be together
Cause the only thing we had was love
And that love was never enough
If the seven deadly sins could come in between and had our enemies laugh
