What Is Love? [Poem]

Yayz. A poem which I wrote in December 2011--

Anyway, this poem is like a discussion between two people; the first person (italics) is someone who doesn't believe in love and has had heartbreaks; while the second person (no italics) is someone who knows real love and believes in it.

So, I hope that made sense... but, ENJOY! :)

I say, love is blind.

I say, you're out of your mind.

Love is selfless!

No, love is worthless.

It's an unbreakable seal.

Wait, it isn't even real!

Is true love even true?

No, it's just another ado.

You say that love never fails?

Not even through life's hardest sails.

Then where is love when we need it the most?

Lying somewhere on a deserted coast?

Tell me, for God's sake,

Why is love always fake?

Love is not true! It is a lie!

With false hopes it makes us die!

Wait, listen, you're wrong.

You have to search for love, hard and long.

It is not easy to find,

But in your heart and in your mind,

You always know it is there.

You always know that you care.

But love hurts! It pains!

No, those are just the chains.

The chains that you have wound around your heart,

To protect it from being torn apart.

True love is kind and just.

It comes from your soul and not just lust.

It will not break or bend,

But will go on; to the end.
