Love

What is love?

What is it like to meet a girl,

Who changes the way you view the world?

With every moment that time goes by,

You know to her, you’d never lie.

How does it feel, to live life with,

A girl with whom you shared loves kiss?

To love and to hold for the rest of your life,

To help and be helped, through conflicting strife.

When do you know you’ve met someone right?

You love them with all of your enduring might.

You treasure them so, with all that you are,

And love them, even with all of their scars.

Why does it hurt to lose those you love?

And when they go, you never rise above.

The times they fell, you picked them back up,

So when they leave, it seems so abrupt.

Where on earth do you go,

To mend a broken heart?

While they were here,

You never were apart.

Now every day,

You want to restart.

But how can you ever,

Have a fresh start?

Now the thought of them haunts you at night,

And it does so until you lose all your light.

And when that day comes, at least you know,

Tis them you will see, that day when you go.

You loved her in life and you’ll love her in death,

So you take that thought with you, in your final breath.

Your love is your life; so let your feelings shine,

And when you meet her, reach out and consign.

Your 15 and you wrote this masterpiece, I'm officially impressed.
This was so deep and so moving it had so much feelings and emotions in it.
It was full of sadness, love, lose, and heartbreak.
I love the way you have set the poem out the way the lines are presented.
The rhyme scheme here took my breath away to, it was flawless and brilliant.
the poem was already amazing, then the rhyme scheme brang it all together and... BANG masterpiece.
Very well done indeed. :)

Thank you very much :) I am 16 now, but I did write this when I was 15.

Your welcome :)

[Jerryyoung1z]

Well penned. You did answer all the questions in the poem. I like the emotions behind it, again, well penned.

[mikaylalocklear1]

I think you have a lot of good things working here from an emotional standpoint. I also believe that within this poem lies the answer to the questions you are asking. At the end you sort of find your resolution, that you cannot move on and come to the conclusion without love because love houses the light that feeds the soul.
"your love is your light"
I would suggest maybe changing the word here to near, in the middle part. "Here" seems to define a certain place, "near" would contain the same rhyming pattern but also maintains the sense of vagueness of he actual narration.

Thanks for the input :) "Here" actually meant "Alive". I didn't even notice what you were saying until you pointed it out though :) Thank you :)

Reflect on their behaviors as a mirror into their own soul. I liked the facts that this poem's structure almost seems to be heart shaped, I don't know if you did that on purpose, but it's cool nonetheless.

I didn't even notice that 0.0 Thanks for pointing it out :)

I actually decided to add some more to this poem. I guess it's kind of a late thought. Now It looks like a vase on a stack of books :)
