My love

She is perfection

Her name was perfection.

In all its form.

No matter what others saw.

My opinion was no different.

Her name was pain.

Whenever I couldn't bear.

I supported all I could.

So that her pain would fade.

Her name was society.

My society is was.

I couldn't bear to be apart.

I stayed no matter what.

Her name is love.

Love is pure.

Love is Pain.

Love is a challenge.

And her name is mine.

Author's Note

Hey look, I wrote a romantic poem once in a blue moon. Was inspired by my fiance. We've been together for almost 7 years now.

Very cool! I like the strikethroughs and the underlined "mine" at the end - unique and interesting, and they provide nice emphasis on the words. The use of the ideas of "perfection," "pain," "society," and "love" all together is also intriguing. I really like the lines "Love is pure. / Love is Pain. / Love is a challenge." Nice work!

A beautiful poem. I like the way you have struck through certain words. The emphasis of the words becomes more apparent.
This poem has a lovely last stanza as well.

Wow, it's incredible. I love the way you wrote it. Not your average love poem :)

[JBoone]

This is a really good poem. Very well done. I like the structure. Good imagery.

The mine at the end indicating that she is you, and you are her; interconnected by the love for each other, and more literally the name from marriage perhaps? The cross through on 'pain', 'perfection', and 'society', entertained me. Like all those things were a stereotypical or some form of thing that defined her and was out of her control. But, they don't. She's more than those things, her own person. Not perfect, but perfect for you. It's a sweet little piece.
