How Can I LOVE?

How Can I LOVE?

A Poem by TraverseTheSea

How can I LOVE when hate creates vines around my veins?

The thought of it brings tears from agonizing pain.

How can I LOVE when I myself am not everlasting?

Only the moment is satisfactory, never forever satisfaction.

How can I LOVE when my LOVE is only an instrument?

Strings break like vows but she remains innocent.

How can I LOVE when everything LOVEly is LOVEless?

I'd have to have wings to keep myself above this.

How can I LOVE when those who have strived for it, died for it

and left generations after them to lie for it and cry for it?

How can I LOVE when LOVE is blind?

If you showed me the way, LOVE, wasn't on your mind.

How can I LOVE when love is as deep as the ocean

and beneath that sea is a frozen potion?

How can I LOVE when backwards, it's evol?

If I turned around, I've betrayed my people.

How can I LOVE when LOVE is all around me?

What if it came and went? What if I was lost and it found me?

How can I LOVE when LOVE divided my friends

and conquered them swiftly again and again?

How can I LOVE by sweeping you off of your feet?

Breaking your fall could mean the end of me.

How can I LOVE when I create all these excuses

to make love seem non-existant, like Cupid.
