Love

Love, what a word,
though sweet as it may sound
it can be be the most painful thing
to ever come around

How do you control it?
How can it be stopped?
It just hangs you off a cliff edge
and though cruel, you may be dropped

For once, love has struck me
and i know the pain it holds
for it taunts me cruelly day in and out
but some reasons will stay untold

It fools me and calls to me
I dreamily fall into it's trap
and only when i am too far in
the reality of it unwraps

I can't escape the heartbreak
that i now feel everyday
for the love i hold is impossible
in every single way

I am left feeling broken,
foolish and alone
for the one person that i want to care
Sees me as worthless as a stone

sure, love can be magical
but never does it last
it can be the deadliest curse
that's so difficult to get past

It might feel good when someone loves you
but what if no one does?
the slowest form of suicide
I personally think, is love.
