"What is love" What does it mean to love someone? Is it the way he gently holds you and caresses your skin while muttering the words your heart seeks to hear? Or is it the deceitful lies he feeds you while breaking your heart over the stone cold floor upon which, you stand beneath. Why do we love? It it to fill an empty part of our hearts that we never knew was bear-en until we found the one? Or is it because his sweet gentle words were able to woe us into his web of lustful lovers, one, part of many others. Who do we love? The man I call my partner who I have vowed to love, and in return has vowed to love me, and only me for as long as my heart still beats within my racing chest. Or the man with empty promises of a future even I can no longer see. When do I love him? Do I love him as he sleeps besides me cocooning me within his warmth and love. So gentle, so loving how could I choose to live my life without it. Or do I choose to ignore the fights, the pain and sorrow and throw the blame on others just as he places all his blame onto me. How do I love him? Do I stutter and fidget in anticipation every time he comes to whisk me off on another life changing adventure. Or do I end up waiting for someone I know will never come back to me, arms forever reaching for a partner I have already lost. I do not claim to be perfect. (In fact I am flawed in many ways.) But neither are you or he. Answer me this, am I the one who doesn't know what love is or are you?
First, when I read the title, I couldn't help but to sing to myself "Baby don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! No more!" But I really do like how this was written out. It kind of makes you sit there and think about what love is really. I've experienced being cheated on in my first relationship ever and it really did hurt, but I couldn't help it for the longest time to just love him because I wanted that really happy, energetic feeling back that he gave me. Very nice written piece to read indeed. Seems like it could lead up to a very nice classical novel of some kind, but it already has a story in itself. ;D
Thank you for the review! I actually wrote this while I was mad and frustrated for reasons I won't put online but yes it turned out ok. I actually wrote this because of kh-vids relationships. I've noticed they don't always work out which is why this poem came to mind.
