Truth

If only I knew...
I wasn't sure if a stanza needs to be removed or not, something feels off about the flow. I woud appreciate any comments/criticism.

personally i like the way the stanzas are and i really like how the poem muses over the question nobody can ever really answere. Love cannot be stopped it can fade, become a different type of love but their will always remain some love for the other, whether you want it or not. I really like it and dont think it needs to change at all. Well done.

Another great poem written by you. I love your style that you have for this poem. You are wondering what stops love. Search within yourself to where you feel that love truly ends. I have found that sometimes only death stops love, but true love I believe is here to stay. Love is one of the most powerful human emotions, and it has the ability to transcend everything we know. Love is so powerful that its ability to cause good and evil is of equal measure.

Very well done, my dear Mandeline. The quiet, musing tone is powerful for this piece.

I don't think it feels off. I like it.

If it's "real" love, then nothing can stop it. Love only stops when it wasn't really love to begin with.

What stops love?!
I don't know....
Well the thing is that all the things you were stopping were bad things. Love is a positive thing. So if you wanted something to stop love in your poem it would have to be hate because hate is the opposite of love.
Do you get me? I am rambling, sorry.
But it's a lovely, thought-provoking poem... as you might've guessed!!

I'm still just a dabbler in writing. I hope that changes. For now, I have a "day-job" in marketing, waiting for the day writing becomes something that sustains more then just my outlet for my strange .. more..
