"I have never started a poem whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering." -Robert Frost


love...

love can be good, love can be bad

love can be two souls playing in a meadow,

but as far as our love goes,

our love only shows as far as one goes

our love is only known to the people you want to show

our love was only for show because everyone knows how far love goes

standing outside your door,

you with no feeling of remorse until I find someone new,

someone else I try to talk to,

but only if you knew,

I only wanted you

everyone says love is beautiful,

but what is love?

love is pain and fear of the thought,

"they might not love you dear"

Paragraphs, no response

checking on you, no response

giving you all my time and energy, no response

but it's all worth it because it's love right?

I wish someone could bring me to the stupid light

I am so tired of being in an endless fight

where is the love you see in fairy tales?

the ones that aren't a big sorry fail

love is dead, old, and hell,

but unfortunately,

I fell

this feels like a roller coaster:

ups, downs, curves, turns

turns...

when is it my turn to live in a book, or movie?

where is my "prince charming"?

where is the great love story people want life to be?

I wish I could see,

why everyone wants this for me

until they give this love to me,

I will lead where I want to be
