Love is a powerful feeling
Love creates, reinforces, strengthens,
But more importantly-
Love destroys

There are two kinds of "love"
True love
And
Artificial love

True love is the kind
Only found in fairy tales
It is wonderful, both parties enjoying
Each movement as long as
They're together
But only as long as
They're together

Artificial love is not real love
We create it to fill
The empty gaps
In our hearts and souls
We use it
To fight
Loneliness and pretend we aren't
Even though we know
We truly are

Love tears and chips away at the mind
Creating a threshold of hell
For the holder
It punches voids
Into the open hearts
Of those who step up
And take a risk
Love is torture

Love, what is it really?
