This is not a happy poem
There are no smiling faces
Nor cheerful glee
About love is what this poem happens to be
That 4 letter word
It promises wedding bells
Beautiful people saying I do
But of the feelings of betrayal it never tells you
Crying rivers making snot and tear waterfalls
All because of he or she
The ones that told you, you were their person
You wonder why they couldn’t put you first then
The good times do not outweigh today
You’d rather not have loved at all
Visions of their smile in another’s face hurts
There are no such things as innocent flirts
I love you with all my heart forsaken all others
A track on repeat that echoes in your mind
Love seems to always struggle to stay true
Why love why so much pain must you put me through
This is not a happy poem
The sun is no longer shining
To love means pain and pain is love
Desperately trying to keep your head above
But what do you do when the water has reached your lungs…
It’s not killing you
You are alive
And you can breathe, but
You can’t stop drowning
