Analysis of Love

Tabitha J. Bryson 1973 (Indianapolis, Indiana)



Love is a mere word
describing emotion...

Thoughts of infinity..

Fear of departure..

The pain of losing..

The joy of gaining.

What is love?

Hurt
Desire
Happiness

The mere word 'Love'...

Just a description of the pain I feel.
