Love is Just a Word

Another poem I wrote last year (insert heart here)

 

Love is just a word

It's nothing but a tyrant bird

          It's a song that the tyrant bird sings

          Where it draws us in with unexpected strings

          And poisons us with unexpected bites and stings

Love is just a word that tears at your soul

Leaving nothing but an unhealed hole

          It's where the tyrant bird has torn us apart from the inside out

          With it's sharp talons and filled us with doubt

          As it sings its song of poison, chest proudly stuck out

Love is the word of heartbreak

That leaves nothing but heartache

          It's when the tyrant birds poison song brought nothing but pain

          Making tears fall like acid rain

          As we stay in the dark, our hands now a crimson stain

Love is the word that brought this tyrant bird to it's grave alone

Where it's song of poison is silent, carved forever in stone.

Author's Note

I actually completely forgot I wrote this poem xD! Sad, because I've done it a couple of times at my poetry readings.

I like the description of the word love. When we are young. We put a lot into relationships. With age we view the world with different eyes and views. Last lines were my favorite. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

very good poem. i like it. the rhyming seems a little forced, like the flow is off a bit though.
