Love

To love someone is to know their heart, is to know their soul

If they are in pain, you feel as though your impaled on a pole

You feel heavenly bliss when they say they love you

And this is the first time you hesitate, before saying it too

Because you fear if you rush, that it’ll be ruined, that it won’t be as pure

Yet at the same time, your love is so strong, it is your cure

From all the pain and anger in your life, from whatever holds you down

They walk hand in hand with you, and they glow like they’re wearing a crown

When you feel as though just being away from them is harmful to your health

And when they introduce you as their bae, you glow like mountains of wealth

That, dear reader, is what true love is, even if you don’t know

Because, no matter what they do, when you see them, you glow

With compassion, joy, pride, but most of all, gratitude

Because most everyone these days feel hated, rejected, alone

So for someone to show that they appreciated, they feel like a gemstone

Never underestimate the power of love

You make a strong and powerful statement in this poem, and it's grand! I myself know the feeling of love, but I could feel it still as I read along. Three little things, if I may:

- "everyone these days FEELS" (because, even though "everyone" implies many people, it's these "many" as a single collective, and therefore is treated as singular).
-" so for someone to appreciate them......" (because it sounds better that way.....no awkwardness with the second half of the line)
- Why doesn't "gratitude" have a rhyme? I love the ending straggler, but "gratitude" should have a rhyme. The musicality calls for it.

Other than that, well done!
