That's What Love Is

When i was in tears

I asked you why

You wouldn't leave 

Until I had stopped crying

And you said to me 

My darling, 

That's what love is 

I asked you why you played me to sleep

When i was restless

When i was hurt

And you told me 

My darling, 

That's what love is

I asked you why you always noticed

When i was hurt

When i was crying on the inside

And you said to me

My Darling, 

That's what love is 

Then one day you stopped noticing

And stopped playing 

And stopped caring

Then you started flinging daggers

And you tore me up piece by piece

You hurt me with your words and your strength

You told me i was lucky to have you

That i was worth nothing

That i WAS nothing 

Without you

Then one day i realized

When you asked me why i was leaving you

Was because 

That's what love isn't.

Duckey, your poem is exuberant and I am impressed by the use of words..

Thank you very much :)

That's another great poem. How can a person be worth nothing as he said, yet write such great poetry? You have a talent that is worth more than the quality of physical strength. As they say the pen is mightier than the sword.

Oh thank you so much :) You're so kind. My poetry is kind of just ramblings that come into my head when i am given a pen and time :3 But thank you
