True Love:
True love is a myth
with no form of conception,
a whisper on wind,
an unlearnable lesson;
nonexistent, with no place in our world,
true love is a fairy tale
for little boys and girls.
True love's painful to pursue,
impossible to find,
like digging for treasure
above a landmine.
True love's a lie,
rotten, bitter to all,
the unreachable summit
from whom all will fall.
It's the endless battle
to win a broken heart;
true love is a deception
that rends and tears apart.
Most evil of thing's,
as deadly as dark,
it's devoid of feeling,
a pointless journey better not to embark.
True love is a trick
that cannot exist,
yielding only pain to find.
It's the dead cold of winter
with no thaw in sight;
it's the path to a heart
absent of all light.
