WEIGHT

Love's a strange word,

and an even stranger emotion.

For many, a two edged sword,

but for me, a mere illusion.

You notice the symptoms first.

That skip in the heart beat,

that desire to quench the thirst,

that simple text from him, enough to be a treat.

Your life will seem complete,

filled with good memories.

But then someone presses delete

and those moments are then buried.

Buried deep into the heart,

accessible only to your soul.

The same soul that was once art,

now reduced to a mere ghoul.

Love isn't something,

that needs to be a necessity.

It's sometimes better than nothing

when you're fighting anxiety.

The weight that you endure

can be a burden, a bane.

It can either leave you unsure

or in unbearable pain.

So choose wisely, my friend

as love ain't so easy.

See it my way, don't follow the trend

and you'll be forever content.
