Love?

I’m trying to write about love

And not be cynical

or cruel

or jaded.

But love is not always patient.

Love is not always kind.

Love can suck.

It’s of precarious nature

to hand your heart over

To another.

Because

Heartaches are tantamount

To taking a sword through your chest.

But then there’s this…

Sometimes love sends you to the stars

And sails you around the moon

In an everlasting dream

Singing lullabies

To those heartaches

Putting them to sleep

Once and for all.

And you can finally rest peacefully

believing with your whole heart that

Love is patient.

Love is kind.

And can be forever.

Believe.
