Love is paradox
It looks simple and beautiful from the outside
On the inside, it's both complicated and ugly
I want a perfect love,
I want a perfect partner.
A partner that won't take away my smiles
A partner that won't turn my joy to sorrow.
But who am i to decide,
For the world we live in, is not perfect
Just like my little fingers,
Love is not equal
I vowed never to love again
But once again, i fell in love
When love breaks, it heals
I gave love another chance.
The dead love in me was awoken
Even though i cursed myself
I gave in to love
It broke me, it healed me
When it's beautiful, it can be ugly
For love is Paradox.

Well put! Love is so complicated, it's a painfully beautiful "paradox"!
That's why I don't want love anymore. Loved your poem!
So true, love is painfully complex.
