Love

Love

Love is something you cannot see or touch but you know its there
It hides in the corners of your mind and in the pupils of your eyes
Kills the soul with the softest blow
And still everyone wants to know
Love can be squandered and treated like a toy
People disguise it as a ruse for passers by
Children think it of their mothers and fathers
Men think it as an excuse to pass on their legacy
Women think it as a scared treasure
The killing of love in an individual is not so easily done
It takes strength, Courage, and a good bit of evil
To break one's heart is a sin unforgivable
Love is confusing
Humans invented it and took it for granted
Thinking it of the beautiful, the shamed, and the broken
Excuses excuses, to hold things dear
Love is a sham.
I know well what I am

Love is something you cannot see or touch but you know its there/ like this line
It hides in the corners of your mind and in the pupils of your eyes

then I got a little confused in the middle of your poem got a little distorted some how
the rest of the poem I thought was good. I would just go back and try to revise other than that I think you did a marvelous job.
keep up the good work.

Enjoyed the first and last parts of the poem, however the middle section did not seem to flow well for me, it almost was like a separate poem. I would work on uniting the middle with the rest of the poem.
