Confused

A repost from the great delete

  

Love can beak your heart

Leave you hollow inside.

I want it.

 

Love can bring joy and happiness

Making your burdens light.

I don’t want it.

 

Love will mess with your emotions

And you’ll wish you were dead.

I want it.

 

Love can inspire you to great things

Giving you the strength to fight.

I don’t want it.

 

Love embrace me,

Love set me free.

Guess it's the old adage.. 'better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all'

Imagine what it would be like to go through life never loving or being loved.. even memories after things have faded can make you shiver in your shoes.

I understand what you've written, created, so very finely... the poem is very well crafted and maybe, maybe a little bittersweet but, the sweet's the stronger!

Thank you for sharing.

A very nice play on images with this Internal discussion

Wow...I couldn't of said it better myself. Many people have an internal conflict. They want love and need love. Yet, many of us don't know how to receive love or give it for the matter. Excellent thoughts to ponder.

Yes, love certainly presents the heart with both sides of the coin. Good piece.

love's mystery and endless possibility for pleasurable pain is the love we love

love is all things to all people, sometimes we get confused by the feelings associated with love..pain, regret, loss but they are not love..

The many diversities and aspects of love-some that we appreciate and some that we can do without and yet each one has it's place in making us grow. Your last two lines sums it all up:

Love embrace me,

Love set me free.

Well said, my friend! :-)

Well almost sounded like one of my 4am rambles on first read, BUT, then with a second and third read it just really says the truth, love can be confusing, there is no doubt about that! But would it really be worth giving it up, Not for me... Good write my friend. I like the way it "fights" with itself so to speak. :)
