Why love?

Submitted by hoopfairy14 on February 24, 2008 - 18:40.

Why Love?
Manipulative and unpredictable,
An inconvenience,
Self-consciousness, always worried,
Questioning how to act
Hearts can break,
To have feeling of losing a piece forever,
Generates thoughts of death,
It has left life empty.

Why Love?
What good comes from Love?
Unpredictability creates excitement
Manipulative creates open-mindedness,
Insecurities,
Always hoping that the connection will never break,
Knowing a life without them,
Is no life worth living,

Why love?
Why is the bad that comes from love,
Also the good?
Why love?
It’s love.
