What Is Love?

What is love?

Is it happiness?

Joy recieved by a specific person?

No, that's not even close,

Love is a dark thing.

 

Love means risking everything you are,

Love is a free shot at breaking yourself.

Love causes pain,

Love causes death,

And yet we continue to love.

 

Love does not mean peace, and

Love is not a gateway,

All love is is a set-up, a trap.

One that is so obviously set, but in it's trickery

We fall for it everytime.

 

So what is love?

Something we strive for? Or 

Something we fear?

I'm sick of falling, but I can't stop. All I know is

Love hurts.

Oh how you came so close in defining something we never know..it just comes from nowhere,and we feel like trapped
Love is happiness with so much pain..you lose your sleep ,your serenity and peace,you are always on edge..
and you dream day and night..it really exhaust you,it will never let you rest..but you can never get away..
Yes love is risking everything,its a chance to break yourself!!..its pain, death..yet we still love..
Love is never peace,not a getaway..a set up, a trap..but we all fall for it..
And yes we get sick of falling into it..yet we never stop..it hurts a lot

Good writing. Love does suck sometimes. Complete love is more filling ;)

A moment, a scattered second of love
is it so great to be worth the pain?
maybe.

Oh wow.. this is sad and there is some truth in there.. could really feel the emotion from you! So sorry to here that you have experienced this too. Love can be all those things if you are with the wrong person.. love can uplift us if we are with the right people.. that is the tricky part.. finding that match!!! First we have to be whole and happy .. then find the same but with someone who wants a relationship as much as we do.. then everything else is work but if the other is great it can be fun.. and rewarding! I hope you find someone better than what you have in the past.. don't give up as there are many out there... and I know how hard it is to find the right one!! Some battle all there lives not to find it.. but I will never give up trying.. regardless!!! =)
