Analysis of Love

Geri Darrow 1985 (norwich, ct)



Love can be great
Love can be hurtful
No matter what.
Love will always exist.
Once you are in love and
Don't know it.
The feeling will come
To you soon enough.
Love can be great
But it can suck
At the same time
You can think that
You are in love
But when really
You are just getting hurt.
Love can bring you passion,
But at the same time
It can bring you even more
Love than you want
To commit to.
