Poem: Love is Pain

Well, I'm not the world's greatest at poetry. Inspiration finds me sometimes, but so far it has all ended up in the bottom drawer. This one I kinda like though, so I'm making it the first that gets to see the light. Here it is

Love is Pain

Love is pain

I hear you say

And never worth the gain

For every moment spent in bliss

Comes with a price to pay

Your heart must learn to miss

The counterpart it found

Your soul will treasure memories

Like a lover's voice's sound

Feelings are the casualties

Of life's ironic twists

That hold us in their clasp

Like handcuffs to our wrists

And yet, when you grasp

In the blink of an eye

That moment in eternity

When together you fly

Emotions turned certainty

Your soul in tune with his

Would you say in all honesty

That you'd want to miss this?

The burden is life

The talent is strength

Letting go is the sacrifice

And love's ultimate price
