Analysis of Love is a funny thing
Bella-Rose Delany 2010 (Dublin)
Love is a funny thing,
Love is like crossing a bridge that could snap at any time based on the choices of your conscience,
Loving another, so unconditionally that you would risk your future.
Within Hollywood cameras, love is perfect,
But to find utter disappointment in reality is harsh.
Some love, often crashes and burns,
Taking your happiness with the flames, but the memories remain.
That one ‘silly’ mistake could can a whole future,
One signature could can a whole life.
But I still remain faithful in the movies and stories passed down through mouths on true love.
The feeling of love is what most want to experience, but me I want to swim in it drowned it it.
I won’t stop until I feel a spark, even if such a spark scratches, my heart.
