Love is beautiful.
It is what wakes me up everyday.
Nothing can compare to the rush,
The infinite thrill of the ride,
The excruciating urge of intimacy...

Love is beautiful,
until you crush it,
with deceit and lies
that hide behind innocent eyes
and then you never see it hit you, when you are alone and afraid.

So forget about love!
Make it suffer!
With the pain of the innocent,
the lives of those broken hearts
will haunt it until days end.

The author's comments:
As we all know, love comes in many different shapes, sizes, and forms. It depends on the depths of both hearts involved to determine just how real it is. Sometimes it IS real, but often times, it is not. Love can deceive as can those whom we love can also. With love comes trial and error.

Favorite Quote:
There is a voice inside of you
That whispers all day long,
"I feel this is right for me,
I know that this is wrong."
No teacher, preacher, parent, friend
Or wise man can decide
What's right for you--just listen to
The voice that speaks inside.”
― Shel Silverstein
