"Its crazy how easy it is to destroy something. It takes minutes, or even seconds, to completely disinagrate someone's views and philosophies or anything tangible. But it takes weeks, months, or even years and centuries to create something."


As I sit here and wonder what love did,
If love exists is really the question to be asked,
Is that knight in shining armor real?
Or is it just a figment of imagination,
Does the bronze of his armor glisten in the sun,
Reflect the life that lives within his hard chest,
Is he something that is real?
Or is my heart confusing me,
And as guilt tramples on my stomach and leaves me,
There—high and confused,
As I feel the whispers coming from his lips,
And know I am dreaming,
As I am lonely sitting confused,
Lost my eyes in the depth of the sky and mused,
The way people’s hearts go into war,
As I sit here and think no more,
About the way you looked at me,
Is the only thing I see,
And its time for me to drift away,
As I ask, should I go, or should I stay?

The author's comments:
As cliché as this may sound, I was very confused about the whole philosophical concept of "love." I knew its biological basis but I wanted to know what is really truly love. What does it mean? Does it even exist? Should I even be asking myself that? And if I am, then maybe I've never felt that emotion before. This poem was also influenced by my indecisiveness on what I should do about a certain problem in my life. "Should I go or should I stay?"
