Love was... (Poem)

Love was what happened to me

It gave some hope;

but then shattered it

Love was what tore me apart

Showing two reflections of myself;

but one only being true

Love was what gave me happiness;

until one day, took all of it away

And left despair in me

Love was my guidance;

until it guided me to the wrong path

And blocked me from all ways

Love is now nothing to me;

and will stay like that;

until I find it again

This is really good, it's so deep and relatable a lot. I love how you captured love when it's like happiness and also when it's heartbroken. You don't focus solely on the good part cause sometimes love can do us wrong.

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you so much! :)
I agree, sometimes love can hurt us badly...

[Angel]

You're welcome :)
Yes it can, but only if we let it...

Love is an amazing and incredible thing. It can give your life new meaning and make everything beautiful. That is, until you lose it. Then it dulls everything and makes the world seem a darker place. You did very well at showing that from several angles.

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you so much Clifford! :)

Amazing job describing the rollercoaster that is love. It feel amazing going up but terrifying going down but your last line sums it all. 'Until I find it again" , no matter how much we suffered because of love we will do it all over again. Amazing vivid work of what is love. N.

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you so much N! :)

Raw and so relatable. What "love was" and, having gone, what "is" left- "despair". So true. Great form and flow. Time heals all wounds. ..Well-done!

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you Annette! :)

I relate to this poem a lot. I can feel your emotion, but I do wish I had more of it to read. Seems like it should definitely be longer. Plus, I can tell you must be angry about how Love has betrayed you in a sense. I want to see that anger in this poem

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you! :)

[Mr.Writer]

Yeah, I could have put more anger into this.

interesting perspective on Love. Amazing how each new generation born on this earth, learns of a new or creates their own concept of what Love is, and or should be.

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you Maria! :)

[Kesha]

Another wonderful poem! I enjoyed this, however the ending was sad and true for many people, love is great unless you get burned.. then it becomes something you no longer want or crave... great piece

[Mr.Writer]

Thank you Kesha! :)
I agree, after you taste the side effects of love, it's hard to like it again

[Kesha]

You're welcome and yes :)

[CAPOLAVORO]
