How I know Love
We are
whom we want to be
We listen
to whom we trust
But we have no say
when it comes to love
It rises within us
like a flower in a crack
Strong yet fragile
awaiting a chance
When helplessly admired
it tricks you into a trap
The taller you stand it
the deeper the drop
It shatters common sense
and knocks at your heart's doors
Ignoring it does not help
it's power and control only grows
It's like a well without ground
a tunnel with no visible light
A mysterious creature
you either let it live or wait till it dies.
