Hm I personally find your poem fairly interesting. Perhaps, however, those who have come to scorn love do not fully understand the meaning behind the word love. I know that within today’s society there are those who are young who are having relationships with one another having their hearts torn from the depths of their soul understanding not what it truly means to love. Or perhaps giving their body in relationships and finding their heart coming back emptier than it had first been. Might I share with you a moment? I, unlike most of my friends, chose to not date or involve myself in a relationship with a male until I fully understood who I am. I will not ask of another person to know me when I myself had no knowledge of who I really am. Not only did I wait but I evaluated each person who I considered to be a potential partner. I did not go by looks but instead purely by personality and I knew what I wanted before looking for someone. I wrote down what I was looking for in a potential spouse (for dating is looking for a potential spouse and one should not date until one is ready to get married) and I stuck to it. My standards where high I expected quality. Unfortunately, there are those who give of themselves so easily to anyone that they have lost expectations and desire a quick satisfaction for the emptiness in their hearts. I enjoyed each moment of being single and I have come to find out why. When one commits oneself to a relationship one gives the other person a piece of their heart. This piece, however, is lost when the relationship fails and one is left with only a part of their heart. The emptiness is consuming and desires to be filled so one becomes desperate to fill it so one continues on from one relationship to the next until one comes to find the person who fills the entirety of one’s heart. I personally witnessed this with a good number of my friends and refused to allow myself to suffer their fate of ceaseless longing, which is why I set high standers to ensure this would not be my fate. I was 16 when I first dated a man by the name of Daniel Jacobs. That was almost 2 years ago and I am happily engaged and will be married sometime next year. I have never been so happy for he has filled all of me and I have filled the places that were torn out of his heart. Though he clams that he is undeserving of my love but the fact that I trust and respect him for who the person he really is outweighs the things of his past. We have never once had an argument or have raised our voices towards one another. Though he has said things that have hurt me he lacked the knowledge that it did so however, with adequate communication we have been able to relay the pains one another feels instead of letting it build into walls that would eventually separate us. Love is sacrifice. It is undying devotion the giving of oneself to the ends of ones being and still pressing. After a period of time a relationship comes to a crossroad. The warm fuzzy feelings associated with love no longer exist at this point one may choose to run away and try to find these feelings or one can choose to love the other person to sacrifice their time and energy to the preservation of their relationship. I hope this has helped. I am sorry for the slight rant but I felt that it was needed. There is a book I think you may be interested in its called “The 5 Love Languages” I can’t remember the author for the life of me but google it and you’ll find it. The man who wrote the book has some Great points! I hope I have been a help to you. You did a good job with your poem I personally think it was well written and thought through. Continue writing =)

Love blows **. It lets us feel an emotion that many do not feel. But then when it ends...it kills.
