Truth
A poem
Chapter 1
Truth
I once saw the answer to the universe
The word I heard was love
And though my heart burns often in despair
I know I've felt it
This emotions that keeps us in it's vice grip
But no longer do I feel such things
I thought love was something you shared
And the more you loved your heart would expand
Alas I was the only one
For the one's I loved had puzzles for hearts
Instead of expanding their hearts could only love few
For puzzle pieces are either added to complete the picture
Or taken away to leave something smaller
And though my heart had expanded to love them all
They pulled and tugged
Insisting I only hold one puzzle piece
Perhaps it is that love isn't want it seems
Or maybe I just wasn't meant to have it
I don't deserve to have it
The word I heard was love
And though my heart burns often in despair
I know I've felt it
This emotions that keeps us in it's vice grip
But no longer do I feel such things
I thought love was something you shared
And the more you loved your heart would expand
Alas I was the only one
For the one's I loved had puzzles for hearts
Instead of expanding their hearts could only love few
For puzzle pieces are either added to complete the picture
Or taken away to leave something smaller
And though my heart had expanded to love them all
They pulled and tugged
Insisting I only hold one puzzle piece
Perhaps it is that love isn't want it seems
Or maybe I just wasn't meant to have it
I don't deserve to have it

Thanks
This leaves me speechless. I'm sure there are more people who can relate to this. It's an amazing poem.
hugs thanks so much :3
This is a really well written poem, but you know I think that about all your poems. However, it really really is great and you can feel the emotions when you read the words which has been something you've always been able to do in an extraordinary way. All of that said, good job, I love it and five starts/favorite! But really, you deserve love and I just wanted to let you know that you do.
hugs you thanks Amber, it means a lot :)
hugs back Of course Whisp! :)
