What love is

July 4, 2023

It may

Be obvious

That you can

Never know

What love is.

Love isn't

Something,

Love isn't

Knowable.

There is

Really nothing

Called love,

And yet

It is undeniable

That love is.

I know

That this

Doesn't

Make sense,

But love

Has no care

For sense,

Love is impervious

To logic,

Or rational thought.

Love is

Unmanageable,

Uncontrollable,

Untamable,

Utterly

Wild,

And free.

I said

That I

Wanted love,

But when

It seemed that

Love came

For me

I didn't

Want it

At all,

I screamed

Into the dark,

That I'd changed

My mind.

There was

No place

For me

In love.

There is no love,

There's only love.
