Where is Love?

 

Love is an empty word

  when one speaks but does not feel

 uttered  softly love is heard

   yet love's vessel lays unfilled

 

Why say I love you sweet

  'tis but bitter words upon thy lips

an untrue soul spawns a sad deceit

  and death's poison from your heart drips

 

O' where is love to believe and lies stripped bare

   to trust in promises of love so stated

for I cannot mend love's brutal tare

  when it has no substance mandated

 

Why does love speak,yet does not feel?

    and leave this empty heart's vessel unfulfilled.

Love is an empty word / when one speaks but does not feel / uttered softly love is heard / yet love's vessel lays unfilled /

sometimes the word doesn't need to be said, it's there, unspoken, shown in a million ways .. a word is a word is a word.. so to speak.

Your post has so many touches, thought provoking ones.. fine metre, such skill..

Goddamn this is some trippy poetry. I love it. This is the first time i've looked at others people's work and i've got to say, yours is the best. I love the picture of the girl.

I totally agree with this. The word, love, is thrown around with no meaning anymore. So nobody really knows what it means.

I enjoyed this VERY much! I feel the exact same way. People throw the word around w/o any real
feeling or truth accompanying it! Great perspective, extremely inspiring!

its true but neither one or the other
theres real and cyber
to mistake one for the other ......

i like this piece.
nowadays love is something that people depend on, then they get crushd because their partner doesn't feel the same. love can be enpty but at times it can be everything you have.

Woah, I love this piece.

Two things have me held with gasping breath, one the rhythm and secondly the SUBJECT MATTER. This write I can relate too.... unfortunately.

People should not speak the words unless they are truly in love
It would make life so much easier don't you think
Wonderfully written as always
