Love

You've not lived if you've not loved, they said
It liberates and imprisons you concurrently, I read
It is not subject to logic, I opined
As amazing as it can be
It is filled with maybes
Love can rage so strong
That it burns itself out

Started out as lovers
Now victims of our own passion
We couldn't bear to be away from each other
But now we can't stand each other
What was once magic
Has now become tragic

For every Jack that went down with the Titanic
There's a beast turned Prince
And a frog changed by a kiss
Thus the heart keeps longing
For to love and be truly loved
Is the very essence of our existence
And so the search continue with persistence...
