Love

By Labitina

If love is so wonderful
Shouldn't it be easier
Shouldn't our love for each other
Overshadow other problems we have with other things
Shouldn't it push aside all worries and cares
Instead it causes us to lie, cheat, and hate
It causes us to break others hearts without intending to
If it causes so much pain
Is it really love
Or something else unexplained
Is love supposed to make us this crazy and confused
Is it supposed to make us say and do
Things we don't really mean
Is this all just a side effect of love
Like medicine with a warning label
It seems bad at first buts makes you better in the end
Does anyone truly understand love
If we can't even understand it
How do we know when we're really in love
Is it something we unconsciously decide
Or is it something just decided for us
Why is something that can make us feel so good
Hurting us so bad
Why is love so irresistibly addicting
How can love ruin and fix everything at the same time
Why is something so beautiful so painfully wonderful
Why would we do so much evil
To have something so pure
What is it that makes people die for love
How is love unbreakable yet breaks our hearts
If so many people have known love
How does it remain a mysteryLo

    "Like medicine with a warning label" thats the line that really sums it up for me. Really makes you think... but thinking too hard can make you miss out on the real rewards of feeling

  • A former member wrote: This had me by the first line "If love is so wonderful" from that point I knew I had a peice about the cons of love, definately a good topic. Write on.

    Don't ask so many questions. You'll definately drive yourself insane trying to make sense of love. Just be thankful you have someone to love in the first place especially if they love you back. That's something a lot of people take for granted.
