Love's Balancing Act
The greatest pain is in the heart
Managing to tear your mind apart
It can cause your life great disaster
If you allow it to be your master
But leave it out, you may grow cold
Ending up alone when you are old
It’s like you stand upon a ledge
Walking emotions razor edge
Lean to far you are consumed
Left enslaved and truly doomed
A balance is hard to maintain
But an effort that can’t be in vain
For the heart can bring the greatest joy
Surely that can’t be just a ploy
Something wrong with this poem?

I am an unpublished poet and have been writing for the past two years. I have many poems but am hesitant to share online but gladly share in person. I still write because of all those that have enjoyed reading my writing.
