Love was... (Poem)

Love was what happened to me

It gave some hope;

but then shattered it

Love was what tore me apart

Showing two reflections of myself;

but one only being true

Love was what gave me happiness;

until one day, took all of it away

And left despair in me

Love was my guidance;

until it guided me to the wrong path

And blocked me from all ways

Love is now nothing to me;

and will stay like that;

until I find it again

There was a time when I felt love would never find me again but it did and I couldn't be happier. I hope the same for you too, My Writer. Wonderfully written.

I've been down this road before with love,
Not too fun,
Like your write it's full of emotion.
Heart-tugging

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you so much :)
I agree, love isn't always easy

[Dave]

Love is like a precious flower that comes to bloom from a tiny bud. It opens up and brightens the sky and all around it. Love must be nourished. It must receive its share of sunlight and yes even, most especially rainfall. I very much like your poem.

[Mr.Writer]

I really agree Dave, like rainfall!
Thank you so much!

[Dave]

Two sides have every coin,
no guarantees that love
will keep on growin'.

Plant all your hopes
on love's fertile slopes.

Whatever will be the crop,
when in-love we cannot stop.

Love may come to us in Paradise,
ending broken on some distant shore.

Mr. Writer,
You've touched upon something most all can surely relate to in a deeply abiding way; yet, few (if any) can adequately explain, ending it with the greatest truth of all, that we cannot do without it, and will seek it until it finds us.

A very wise, genuine, and knowing work, My Friend … thankful kudos to you! ⁓ Richard : )

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you so much Richard! I really appreciate the review of yours :)

Awwwwww. Love begins with you...First it's a tiny spark in your soul, then becomes a roaring flame! The more you give, the more you receive!
Just don't forget, it begins inside you.

[Mr.Writer]

I agree, it begins inside of us
Thank you so much Anastaia

[writ rajat]

Very nice to read this passionately written

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

The crying emotion that never really decides what it needs from us - love - without it we crumble, well done, good read.

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you so much Thomas! :)
