Just Some Thoughts <3

A Mere Four-Letter Word

But what is love,

the years have torn away the meaning,

and we no longer incorporate it with a dove

but something else, something more

and the word love has left us leaning

on so many different expecatations. 

Now and today, love is nothing

but a small four letter word

twisted and beaten and thrown 

into darkness.

Left for dead,

inhaling the rest of sanity,

in this mere four-letter word

there is nothing left but vanity. 

The heartbroken are left

with a crooked outlook,

on this thing called love.

And the ones, who don't survive,

are left to themselves.

Speaking their minds,

finding an escape in the heat of

breaking lungs, or the dullness

of metal on pure skin.

drowned by their demons,

filling the heart with black water.

And the belief that love will no longer exist,

lingers and takes over the mind.

And when there is nothing left to hold onto,

this feeling disappears;

Vanished into the depths of this beating,

cold, pink muscle.

And the years have taken their toll,

the meaning of love

is no longer incorporated with a dove.

And finally, the drowning demons take over,

and love is nothing more

then a mere

four-letter word.
