Love is not Romance

Love is not Romance

A Poem by Aleena

A poem: Love is not romance

Why were Hansel and Gretel left all alone
And Snow White was living forlorn?
Love softened the Red Riding Hood,
Allowing them to be harmed.
This is how betrayal is
Comes prancing and shapes every fairy tale.
The reasons for love driving us to extremities.

Love is not romance, a fable we tell
Love is surprises and discoveries as well
Expanding your boundaries,
Gaining the perfect vantage point 
To give the final blow
With a gifted rose riddled with thorns.

Romance is that feeling.
When they meet your expectations,
Always there for your heart, securing not stealing
Your breath and dreams, but cherishing like precious dew 
Suited for a heart: strong and weak.

Girls, kill those butterflies,
A warning disguised as love.
Look for romance, that reminds you who you are,
where you trade moments, instead of laughs. 
Ditch murderous love
 embrace fortuitous romance.
