So I’ve been Told.
Love is wonderful,
uplifting, a joy to behold.
Sometimes even overwhelming,
or so I’ve been told.
A lonely concept, you see,
since my reasons for living,
are no longer clear to me.
Fear not. To breathe is to fear,
to fear is to breathe.
Why would I ask my only friend,
to leave?
Love may be wonderful,
but pain is all I know.
