Love

Love

A Poem by Beautifulmaddness
"

A look at love, it's actions, and how it is misused

"

Love inspires everything

Makes some cry, makes some sing

Breaks some to the point of no repair

Sends some flying in the air

Makes some people hard as stone

Leaves some forever wishing it wasn’t gone

Changes some to a person they don’t recognize

Curse love’s torturous blinding eyes

Love is so misused

The words “I love you” so abused

If only the world knew what love was

What it is and what it does

The unmatchable joy it can bring

And the never ending pain and sting

Then they’d think before of it they spoke

Knowing it as no joke

Love is something with which you should not play

People should think before love they say

If only we knew how to use it

How to hold on and not lose or abuse it

Love is something that can’t be restricted

Leaving people broken and afflicted

If only love the world did posses

We wouldn’t create as many a mess

If love we could control

We’d all get along and be a whole

But that day will not yet be

Anger and violence are all I see

It’s all from lack of love or broken heart

Yes, that’s where it all does start

Love creates so many problems everyday

THINK before love you say!

Love can be a tool of great joy

Why must you misuse it like a toy?

Causing people such great pain

Leaving them to never be the same again

But you are not only to blame

Sometimes love treats itself as a game

Causing two to love one another

And then one decides they want something other

What pain to love someone who doesn’t love you!

If only of this pain love itself knew!

Then it would not hurt people anymore

Never closing that final door

But these are dreams not to come true

Love will always hurt and cause people to be blue

If only that one forever lasting love I could find

I will search all my days for that kind

Love it. A lot of thought has went into this. For me, I think the words I love you, are more of a habit to some, like a reflex, than what they should truly be, a look, a touch, a smile, not needed to be said, but still said anyway, and said in a way that every time they are heard, they are believed.
