Love

I can only describe who I am by my perspective

So the light that I shed will likely be expected

To seem dark and grim and down and gray

Though the gray light's as freeing as the white light of day

What better to describe us than daily interactions?

We are reflected in the water through our constant actions.

And by loving someone, I saw that I was more

A romantic who dotes on the one she adores

And by losing that loved one, I finally learned

I cry long and hard for the love lost I'd earned.

When I speak how I think, people shrink in their seats

How can I smile bright from my dismal beliefs?

A Nihilist is what word I've heard the most

That fits me, my life, and the words that I post.

I believe in no being to hear all my prayers

So I pray to myself and my friends, for that's fair.

I believe in no purpose or happiness path

I believe in no karma, no justice, just math.

I believe all my ethics are my own to choose.

I believe that they're things you can gain and can lose.

But I do have my own that I've picked on my own

From the things that I like and the way that I've grown.

Family is not all and it's something you choose

To be built off of love or of blood, both can lose

To me, love is a precious and miraculous thing

That can span from commitment to casual fling.

As for me, I would like to find love I can keep

For the rest of my days and to hold close in sleep

And someone who can love me as deeply as I

Am sure to have fallen if he is my guy.
