What Love Is

What Love Is

A Poem by Travie
"

This is a poem about my thoughts on love.

"
What is love?
Some people say it's a beautiful thing, 
Others say it can lead to a life of regret, 
It is one of the most powerful emotions we hold. 

Love is often taken as a misleading, 
One can think he or she is in love, 
When really, all you feel is lust. 
It takes time to distinguish what you really feel.

Love is like a building, 
You lay down the foundation, 
Learn to grow and strengthen the bond, 
Then over time, that bond becomes unbreakable. 

Love is just more than a word or an emotion, 
It is something that we all hold and desire, 
For without love, all that we will have left, 
Is an empty soul and a heart full of sorrow.

You're exactly right: love needs a strong foundation to truly flourish. There is a lot of truth in your words, keep writing, my friend.

Love gives life to our souls, without it just an empty shell. Very interesting and awesome piece you penned here. Great work.
