Was it love
in Romeo and Juliet
when he made a toast to the afterlife
and she penetrated her heart,
finally bringing them together
in a crimson wedding

Was it love
when Achilles fell to his knees
to longingly cradle the lifeless form
of Patroclus.
To swear revenge against the
shining helm of Hector

Was it love
or
Was it violence
