Love is not real

Oumar 2001 (Chicago, Illinois)

May 22 
Free verse
Love is not real
It’s psychological deception
It can never heal
But can cause mental regression

Love is not real
It’s a buzzword for manipulation
It turns you to an empty shell
Filled with humiliation

Love is not real
It’s another illusion
It hides sexual desires
Behind other emotions

Love is not real
Your “soulmate” won’t stay with you
If there’re lonely people
You could be one too

Love is not real
So why do we believe in it
Where is the lantern of truth
It deserves to be lit

Love is not real
But hatred is

About this poem
