If my first

“Love”

Taught me anything,

It’s that

“Love”

Is not just

Another walk

In the park.

“Love”

Is complicated,

Like a puzzle,

There’s so many

Pieces

That have to

Fit together

Perfectly

For it to look

Complete.

“Love”

Is wild,

Like an animal,

You’ve gotta care for it enough

To make it

Trust in you,

To make it

Less likely to

Hurt you later.

“Love”

Is unpredictable,

Like the ocean,

You never know

When the waves will come

And wash away

All you worked

To build.

“Love”

Is sickening,

Like a disease,

It infects you,

It destroys you,

And sometimes

You don’t realize that

Until it’s

Too damn late.

But…

“Love”

Can also be beautiful,

Like a bright

Wildflower,

With colors so vibrant,

With petals so dewy,

Light can find its way

To us.

“Love”

Is warm,

Like a mother’s embrace,

Holding you tight,

Being your light,

Making your heart race.

“Love”

Is not just

Another walk

In the park,

But it can be a light

When life seems dark.

A light

In your world,

A light

In your life,

“Love” can be bright

And get you through the strife.
