Define: Love

Define: Love

A Poem by benjammingham
"

Im just gonna go with the flow....improv and such...

"
I can't really describe this feeling
an overflow of emotions
that send my mind reeling
and skyrocket me through the ceiling
It's unlike anything I've felt before
this indescribable occurance
something that drives my core
that makes me yearn for more
I don't know what happens to me
This phenomenon that changes
me into someone I could never be
but honestly has unleashed me to be free
I'm a little scared, but I think I know
This. Is. Love.
Hiding and biding 'til it's time to show
but now that it's planted, it begins to grow
It consumes my mind and heart
like a wonderful weed it spreads
wondering if she'll break me apart
so instead of waiting, I just start
It's happened to me before
I try too hard
and wear her heart out 'til it's sore
moving too fast, faster than a w***e
I don't know why I do it
but it hasn't worked so far
So I tried a different tactic
I tried playing hard to get
but I failed again
she thought it wasn't worth it
I call her an ex though she wasn't my girlfriend
Even so, I guess I was better off in the end...
Ahhh yes, Love is a terrible wonderful thing.
and too often I've felt it's sting.
But this time I won't let it end sour
This time I want to feel love's true power
So I guess I don't know how love is defined
Can anyone fathom the wonder of it?
I guess it depends on the kind
of love; the kind in your heart, or the kind in your mind
See, love is universal
But it's also personal
It's a feeling
Is the other person appealing?
It makes you crazy
But the experience is amazing
It can break you
Or can be a dream come true
We are victims to love, one and all
Just be careful when you fall
