What Exactly is Love?

A Poem By Santasia Boone

By Santasia BoonePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

What is love?

A four letter word?

"an intense feeling of deep affection."?

A pretty lie made up from the civilizations before us?

Or is it deeper than that?

A breakdown of the word can be anything as long as it's a synonym of itself ,

But by God's everlasting grace what is it?

Do we even deserve to know the meaning?

Do we know the true feeling?

What even are feelings?

In this society, I can't even breathe without hear someone misuse the word "love".

The relevancy of anyone even believing a word that is used to describe affection towards another is an entirely different possibility.

Having felt the pain of trying to UN-love without truly knowing what love is,

I lost faith in the concept of finding one's true love.

So, again I ask,

What is love?
