harshness of puppy-love

young eyes meet,

and lock and gaze,

the meet is sweet,

and so a fire will blaze

the feeling is warm and you are invited,

to be enticed and get excited,

you let them in and learn about them,

you grow a bond that looks like a gem

time goes on and you're love for this person,

becomes almost scary and worries then worsen,

you cannot afford to be broken again,

so you distance yourself,

to get rid of them

they think you loathe them,

but they are so wrong,

your love for them is too risky,

like the rays of the sun

stay out for a while,

and bathe in the glow,

stay out too long,

and be burned to the bone

I think this a nice take on the idea that love is a dangerous emotion. the last stanza:
"stay out for a while
and bathe in the glow
stay out too long
and be burned to the burn"
this really takes love to a different level this uncontrollable ember that needs to contained and dampened down before it hurts someone. good poem
