...Love...

Your heart scatters.

  

Their happiness, their grace 

Their sadness and inelegance 

Their awkwardness and pride 

Down to their secrets and lies.

 No matter what it may be or how they see you 

You want nothing more, but for them to be true 

Love is the feeling you get when you want nothing more but to be with that special someone

That's when you know, that it has begun

The constant thought of them will drive you insane 

because without them, is nothing but pain. 

When simply existing feels like a chore 

But when your with them, nothing's a bore

The glimmer of their eyes and the flutter in your heart 

You begin to realize you don’t ever want to part

That bright smile that lightens your day

That feeling, it never goes away

Hypnotized by the sweet sound of their voice 

Love isn’t a choice…  

Love… 

you want nothing but their happiness to repay the feeling you felt. 

 Even if it means… a final farewell… 

You would gladly endure the horrors of hell.

 So long as you know that their life goes well. 

The ones that you love won't always love you in return. 

But that's alright because even if you're left with nothing and yearn. 

Their happiness is the only thing that matters.

Author's Note

I'm new to writing and not mush of a poet myself, just do it for fun. This is the first poem I have ever wrote. just a feeling I wanted to express. I do apologize if my grammar and structure is off. I love to write but my understanding of literature isn't the best. Thank you.
