What is love?
Is it even a feeling at all?
And why is it always
Associated with tragedy?
What is love?
To me, it is sacrificing anything for someone,
The same way Tosca and Mario
Sacrificed for each other.
What is love?
Not to be confused with lust,
The physical attraction Scarpia
Had for Tosca.
What is love?
Is it the way Jack and Rose
Looked at each other
Moments before Jack let go?
What is love?
Is it what Juliet felt
When she found out
Romeo killed himself?
What is love?
Is it a weakness,
Or is it
What conquers all?
What is love?
That heavy feeling
In your heart
For the one.
What is love?
Something that can
Make one feel
Both pain and happiness.
Have I ever been in love?
The hopeful answer is yes,
And that I still am,
But I really don’t know.
I kept thinking of that banking commercial while reading this (in which the guy has his ringtone set to “What is Love?” or whatever that song it) but this is such a nice poem. You should’ve read it in class! 🙂
Thanks Maisha! I was thinking about sharing it in class but I changed my mind, haha
