Love;

A belief,

A truth,

A lie.

One word;

Many meanings:

Friendship,

Family,

Romance,

Tears,

Passion,

Pain.

Sometimes meaningless,

For true love is only real if returned,

And unrequited love will only hurt,

Burn you to colourless ashes,

So you forget there was ever beauty in your heart.

Yet love heals,

Love gives a reason to live,

Creates hope in a hopeless shell,

Gives life to ashes,

Binds together broken pieces,

So a work of art is made.

Love is weakness,

Love is strength,

A perfect paradox,

An eternal force,

A momentary sensation;

We fear and crave it,

A toxic drug,

Invisible and silent.

For in the end,

Love fades, 

Love dies,

We fall forever,

Arms never catch us,

The ground envelops every soul,

We're left infinitely and utterly alone...

There will always be an over in lover,

An end in friends,

Every family grows apart,

So is the high worth the fall...

Under your spell,

I dug a hole of my infatuation,

And into it I fell.

I once thought it a figment of my imagination,

But my mind is too filled with thoughts of your eyes.

I tried to run, out of pure desperation.

But distance has only strengthened my heart's demise,

And time has only weakened my patience.

I'm quickly getting tired of my own lies.

I've loved you since you were a mere acquaintance,

And I've hoped for you to feel the same.

I've filled myself with unreasonable expectations.

I wonder do you see my shame?

When you come with all your trusting and touching,

I can never tell you how I feel for fear of blame.

I want to feel nothing,

That is,

Unless you feel something?
