Love?

What is this word 

You all speak of 

I've never truly felt love 

Does it burn in your heart 

Like all the poems say 

Does it give you the drive 

To live life 

Was Dante right 

When he said 

It moves the sun and stars 

I feel so empty 

To have not felt love 

Or maybe that's not 

The problem 

Maybe it's because 

No-one loves me.

Author's Note

wistful and bitter equals this.

This is pretty much what I ask myself everyday. What is love? I see all my friends with their boyfriends and listen to them talk about how in love they are and how happy they are and how perfect this guy is. I've never experience having a crush on a guy, let alone love. I question whether or not I'll ever fall in love or if someone will fall in love with me.
But then I see my friends get their hearts broken by guys and I become scared to fall in love...scared to be in a relationship.
Anyway, very nice pome, love it. Keep it up.

I like the poem and the reference to Dante. I believe it's full of emotion. However, I don't think you can really understand love only by being loved. You have to be the one in love, to feel the pain of absence and the thrill of reconnection to understand love...Anyway, I like your style of writing.

Wow, this is incredible intense and a bit depressive too, but I can understand and sense the pain behind your words. I personally believe that love has no boundaries and can come at any time in any form at any degree. I'm sure you'll find someone who will love you and accept you for who you are someday Rhea. Anyways, this is beautifully written and I like it lot. Kudos to you and good luck!
