Love

My greatest fear.

I have a fear.

Not of darkness or pain,

but of love.

I fear that one day love will hurt me.

That it will trick me.

Fool me.

Ruin me.

I fear that one day love will hurt them.

That it will make me do something that I don't mean.

Leave them.

Blame them.

I fear that one day I will be lost in love.

That I will do foolish things.

Leave my home.

Hurt my family.

I fear that love will cause me to lose myself.

Become someone I'm not.

And yet,

Love is what makes things be the way they are.

Love can be a good thing,

but a fear helps cope with life's temptations.

I loved the poem it speak , But don't ever be fooled by love alone, Wow I remember my 1st and I became very hurt I did some foolish things. Love can blind and hurt. True love now that is the love in which you know is right:) Fear does help. The best love I ever seen was agape love:)

Love is how we as humans perceive it to be ,we can allow for love to be bliss or for love to reckon our hearts .Eaither way love to me is more of a strong belief that we allow our body to feel making love relevant in our lives.Remember they only true real thing that can harm us without no debate is ....ourselves.

I agree that love is the strongest emotion and you have captured it wonderfully in your poem. Thought I'd share something that I truly believe in, one of Lao Tzu's quotes.

"Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.-Lao Tzu"

love is creation of universe
hurt is creation of people
it s up to us what we choose
healing can be provide with us
we are sickness and we are cure
just open heart to right direction
and love can give you wings

Oh Bri ... love is, I think, the biggest temptation life offers. I think this poem says something that many people, like myself, think ... but haven't been able to find the right words. You did ... and very well.

Getting lost in love is one of the most wonderful experiences of a lifetime. I hope you are able to wander in the romantic avenues of life and that you never regret it. Very honest emotions in this one. Expressed beautifully. Lydi**
