Love

What is love?
Can I have an answer
It is fear, trust, lies, and lust
It is love
And you will do as you must

Some would say
It is perfect
The butterflies
 The kiss
You know the first one
The one that you miss

Some would say
It is terrible
A poison if worse
It can kill you
Drop you dead
And even drain your purse

Some would say
It is everything and nothing
A partner for life
To share good and bad
To split every something
In the name of love
And little ones
Gifts from above

Some would say
It is a passion
The intimate thrill
Nothing more
Than a one night stand
To do with as you will

Be careful of the hollow words of early I love you’s
They are show
Nothing more
But little I.O.U’s
Know the difference 
Between infatuation and love
Since some things will hurt you
Some things will push and shove  

But what is that silver-lining
loves total thrall
It’s the completely amazing experience
That happens to us all
Through repeated good and bad
We see the light in dark
No matter who or what it is
Love will make its spark

I really enjoyed this poem and felt that it was well written. You would think that something that has had countless volumes written about it, would be easy to describe. Once you really have it, you can't live without it!

This was thoughtful, enlightening, and well written. I especially liked the third stanza, it really conveyed the message you were trying to send. Love is confusing and sometimes mysterious. Somehow we can't capture it in words, contradicting our emotions, and yet we still set it aside from everything else. Somehow we can tell the difference... Those were my thoughts.

I did have a suggestion.. The part where you wrote: "Know difference
with infatuation and love..." change the word "with" to "from" or "between." Using the word "with" doesn't make sense and doesn't truly bring out what you're trying to say there. But that's probably just me... Otherwise, this was a great poem, I enjoyed reading it:)
