Pages stained with ink
like dark blood whispering
waves of morbid anguish.
Tenaciously clinging to words
that viciously skewer hearts,
I hold my breath,
waiting, imagining the knife
twisting until I bleed.
A figure in black
hiding in drear isolation,
wraiths mourning lost love,
all turn on the
hellish rack of pain
that we call Amour....

It does seem like that much of the time, doesn't it, naturegirl? The blood which has been spilled in the name of amour would probably fill an ocean. The tears shed would fill many oceans.
