love

love

A Poem by avaya

Eleven people told me they loved me,

With their chest, it seemed, they would never leave me

So I leaped with my heart, as all the stories told,

True love meant the world! Nothing else would truly hold

The fairytale continued, like all the words I’d ever read

It would win against all evil, it would always triumph in the end

It would swoop in like a white knight, saved from all your regrets

True love means the world! Love is life is what they said


But had they considered, for a second, what was true?

Had they considered love as just a fairytale they barely knew?

If love meant the world, then why is it so broken?

If love was truly true, then why are you left unopened?

Why have they all run away as you tumble down the harshest paths

For a moment, I wonder, how much have we all had?


For love, it may be life

But life can be so unbearable 

So what is life without love?

A path that stays quiet, we remain all unspoken 

It remains slow and dark and bleak 

It remains life without the weak

Pain comes as it goes, and love ceases to exist 

We die off uncharted, unknown, and reach a lonesome bliss 


Would you choose life with or without love?

In your experience, does the fairytale fly above,

All reason and all logic, do you allow yourself to feel?

Do the horrible parts of life feel as bearable as they do real

Gee
Good morning, couldn't imagine my life without love, it would be empty, cold, pointless. It is the greatest gift we can offer one another.
Enjoyed reading you :)
