all is fair in love

what love does to us,
by default is no one's fault,
for love suffers as much as it loves
from your head to your heart,
into the deep of the universe
that aches for love not to let go
of the smallest world we only know,
empty as it was with all the stars,
it'll never be as emptier again
without me, without you,
so keep your heart close,
for you and i are the only ones,
the only ones and everyone else
who'd love to stay on,
even without any love at all

A very profound write, Steph.

Deep thoughts on love and its affects on us and its universality; its far reaching grasp.
The title....."All is fair in love.....". Many i think will disagree about it.
Love can be an amazing thing, but also cruel and unfair. So i cannot agree with the sentiments of the title.
The poem itself is well written, as always.
Keep them coming. I'm sure you will!

all is fair in love in the sense that you can't cheat with your heart/with your feelings - it's always there, so if you love a person, it doesn't oblige her to love you back - the only obligation she has to you is not to hurt you, to do you no wrong - this is my opinion - so if you question your action of loving, as to the why, there's no reason other than you love the person - thank you my friend :)
