The Love I Keep Asking

The Love I Keep Asking

A Poem by yuhee
"

The love you gave, the love I got... What really is it?

"
You told me you love me
But where is that love now?
Gone missing and never been found

You told me I'm the only one
But who is that you're seeing now?
A new profound love to replace mine?

You promised me a life full of bed of roses
But what's only left were prickly thorns wilted and dead
Is that what it supposed to be?

You promised me a forever
But it only ended up with a big never
Are promises really meant to be broken?

You said till death do us part
But why is it you left me with a broken heart?
Am I really not enough?

You said love could conquer all
But why is that ours so fragile it crumbled on it's own?
Was that also a lie all along?

You taught me love is everything
But what did I get?
Only pain and crying
Is that what my worth for?

You taught me the kindness of a loving heart
But then again it just purely lies
Is there anything true on all you have said?

Love indeed is blind but I am blinder
For with still open eyes I can't see
All the thread of lies and deceit

Or perhaps it was only me
Choosing not to believe
What's already in front of me

Maybe this love was not bound for me
So I now open this clutched hands
And like a butterfly, I set you free 
Farewell love
Perhaps we're just not meant to be

The only test of an emotion
is it's duration of time

it says it all

Lovely piece very moving
with tons of questioning
once love has that much questions
its the begining of the end

for true love settles
and asks nothing
