Love Is Lethal

Poetry

Love is Lethal

Years without close companionship or friendship

I could only sense grief

It’d slowly tear my heart piece by piece

I tried, I tried, I tried

To overcome the pain

But I could only perceive hell on earth

Through my sense of sight

So I distanced myself from society

I was silent, but lethal on the other hand

Like that word LOVE

Surprisingly the love I desired popped up

I felt as if my heart was physically restored

This may have boosted my self-esteem

However, my biggest opponent, time came into the picture

I was to go off to a distant place

Despite that factor, I could still feel love

Love may have been alongside of me

But one was to betray the other because of our lethality

Of course, I let my generosity override

And nature took its course

Grief stepped back into my life for a good purpose this time

It reminded me that grief slowly kills one’s spirit over time

And love gives you a stab in the heart that may heal

But leaves its mark

Love, I still think about you

But do you deserve another chance?
