Till Death Do Us Part

An old poem I wrote when I was bored in class.

What is love?
Someone asked me this.
Well, love is when you give your all,
But it'll never be enough.
You give your heart,
And it is left to bleed to pieces.
You give your life,
But in the end,
It'll just leave you scarred and angry;
And probably,
Leave you hanging-
A noose around your head,
Swinging from the ceiling.

While I do have different views on the definition of love, I still find this to be a well written, very moving poem. I felt a lot of emotion from it. Two thumbs up. Keep it up! XOXO,

awww good job! you wrote this so very well!

Such a personal definition.
However, I'd like to deviate from this as I believe that love transcends definition. Still this poem is a mover! Good write Rach. :)

Had I read this much earlier I wouldn't have understood this as I do now. A very powerful piece

Unnerving. Poems that reflect suicide always leave me unnerved. This is an angry work - and almost to the point of an observer. I picture a child hurt by a parent separation. This sort of pain is terrible because a child is always left with one spouse, hurting and beyond comfort. A child can grow bitter with that sort of third party pain. A child can't blame either parent but can blame the concept of love. With love on the dock and proclaimed guilty there is little left to look forward to in their world. That is simply my interpretation. You've certainly evoked emotion and thought, thank you.

Sometimes you think love can do you in. I've always
said love takes no prisoners. Good write.

[Shalini Dinesh]

nice poem if written in anger, otherwise i would say
love is such a wonderful feeling that can only be felt , and words can't explain....
