Love as We See Fit

Love is not patient 

And it is not always kind,

But it floods you. 

Fills you to the brim with warmth

overflowing till it seems expanse-less.

It is frustrating

But ever so worth it.

Every cell in our body craving it.

There is no life without love;

that sometimes cruel feeling

leaving you crumbling upon 

the cool tile beneath,

Disheveled by disbelief and pain.

The pain but temporary lesson

A stepping stone toward better loves

A fresh lovers hand gripping your hope

Spreading their warmth twofold

Empty is life lived in the

belief that one can survive without

love.
