Sick of Love

A Poem by Katerina Grev

I spent so much time writing about love and i'm sick of it

I'm sick of love.
I'm sick of closing the car door and feeling shielded in the bubble of my black volvo only to turn on the radio and hear someone sing of love like it's the best thing to happen to them.
I'm sick of love.
I'm sick of strolling into the crowded aisles of my local pharmacy looking to pick up a get well soon card for my best friend laying in the cold bed of an emergency room because she got her heart broken only to see cards about how great being in love is.
I'm sick of love.
I'm sick of waking up groggily in the morning and hurting my eyes looking at the bright screen of my phone, hoping to see your name appear.
I'm sick of love.
I'm sick of scrolling mindlessly through my social media seeing smiling couples holding each other close and pretending they're living a perfect life. I was one of those couples once. No matter how many "goals" pictures they may post, perfection is not a word to describe love.
I'm sick of love.
I'm sick of the fact that all I and everyone else seems to know how to write about is love. Love is beautiful, love is hurtful, love, love, love. Why don't we know anything else to write about? Why has love become the main focus of life?
I'm sick of love.

Falling in love is easy, staying in love is a different story. Nice writing!

That's the sad reality. Thank you for your words!

I know all about those people that are as happy as clams because they're so in love. If they could write songs about it they would. Some are consumed with it, I know.

This poem kind of makes me think of bukowsi as far as style I suppose for the bitterness in tone. But bells were going off as I read it because I can identify with it.

I like it. Great job.
