What is love
is it serene
or is it pain
With love comes heart break
and the feeling that you cant move on
The ice cold pain
that rips you to pieces
The cause of the
tears upon your face
Does it create the longing in your heart
that just won’t go away
but with love also comes compassion,
a feeling of belonging
something powerful
so real
so perfect
but so fragile
so easily ripped away
a never ending circle
of sorrow and joy
