Love Is No Angel

When you love someone

You fail to see

Their shortcomings and their failures

Their weaknesses become their strengths

Anger becomes passion

She hold your fingers in her poisoned hands

But your hands are black too

So you are blind to her impurity

You follow her smile

The train in her dress

You follow her dimples

But the closer you follow

The farther you are from who you used to be

Who you would become

And now her demons are your demons

And you can’t even see it

Quick as a blink

Steep as snow

You fall and it’s over

You’ll never win back innocence

You’ve forever lost your spark

And what’s worse,

You don’t care

Love is no angel

Love blinds and tricks and plays games

Love lures and seduces

Maybe I’m just cynical

The broken tend to be

But love has destroyed so much beauty

It’s hard to believe in it’s purity

She may smile your heart to pieces

But sleep with an open eye

Anything so beautiful

Never ends without goodbye

Gah, this poem ... I can relate. It really makes you question the beauty of love. And question, you have dimples?

[Molly Garnet]

Haha thank you so much!! Yes I do have dimples. Ridiculous dimples.

[Jeremia]

Me too!! Well, idk if they are ridiculous, but I do have dimples. lol

[Molly Garnet]

I love dimples and freckles, mine are just ridiculous :)

[Jeremia]

Haha, what makes them ridiculous?

[Molly Garnet]

They're always there, even when I'm not smiling haha

[Jeremia]

Ah, gotcha. I do not think mine are like that. At least they don't show that much unless I'm smiling.

What a creative way to write about the blindness of love. I do still believe there is genuine, pure love... I have experienced/am experiencing it.
You did tell a very nice tale with your words though, and it is true that in some instances love can truly do cruel things to us.

[Molly Garnet]

Thank you so much. I'm sure real love exists, but experience gives love a bad reputation.

[Cameron]

So true, I hate to say it...but it is true.

[Molly Garnet]

it's so sad

[Shawna]

I love this. Very well said, love can play some of the cruelest jokes on us. Great job!

[Molly Garnet]
