A love story

By cadymae


 Love is a story you tell yourself 
To make the rough edges smoother 
To make yourself more resilient 
To make the longing seem worthier 
But finally the story does not matter 
Since dust to dust we all return 
Neither wiser nor sadder.

    ...love has many perceptions: bitter & sweet, true & deceptive, spiritual & lustful. & of course in the end nothing matters, but they certainly make life & poetry much more interesting...

    Short but it glided smoothly to the point. Keep writing.

    love, marriage, children - used to be the normal progression. Nevertheless, one label may be as good as another in the final analysis, well-said.
