Life in Poetry

It's not love

If she is at her darkest hour and you can't see her fall

Then maybe you are not even attracted to her at all

If you fear catching her would only cause distress

Then love isn't the emotion you currently express

If you long not for her entirety but only skin and flesh

Then surely in your mind, lust and love must thresh

If you only excite for her body and never her soul

Then love and marriage aren't your ultimate goal

If the flames die out when you are not with her

Then maybe what you feel won't even last forever

If seeing her tears doesn't break your heart into pieces

Then the chance you love her totally decreases

If the love does not bring hope, joy, and self-control

Then maybe what you currently feel is not love at all

If a smile from her doesn't get your icy heart thawed

Then maybe this feeling you call 'love' is just a fraud
