it's the one thing that you get out of bed for
the one feeling that makes you sleep tight
the thing you whisper in your mind
all you need is love

it's the one thing that makes you smile
the only thing you think about
the thing you write about
all you need is love

it's the thing that tickles your stomach
the thing that makes you smile
its the thing you scribble all over your books
all you need is love

it's the thing that makes you worried sick
the one thing that rips away at yor heart
the thing that makes you cry yourself to sleep
all you need is love

its the one thing you wipe your eyes over
the one thing that bleeds you dry
the thing that makes you want to scream
all you need is love

the one thing you can't handle
the only thing that makes you feel so ugly
the thing that makes you insane
makes you drive the blade into your flesh

Yeah, all you need is love.


your the only one keeping me alive

Yeah, all you need is love.

"Love. Whether it warms your heart or burns your house down, you can never tell."
"You are beautiful, no matter what they say, words can't bring you down."

I found this written on some randoms book in music, sorry if it's long.
"A professor gave his class of ten female and ten male students, a sentance: Women without men are nothing. He asked the students to punctuate the sentance. The men wrote 'Women without men, are nothing.' The women wrote 'Women! Without; men are nothing.'"

Good poem Lor. Loved the irony as always. Beautiful.

Iloved this, I think, because I know EXACTLY how it goes for the first time in my life. And you described it so well. And it'll drive me to a knife once in a while, but I think it's worth the pain.  You've got to weight the good against the bad, see how they balance, and then make some adjustments.  That's my way of doing it anyway, if that helps any?

geez girl

i envy you so much, ive tried writing this one so many times but yeah never worked but of course you wipped out the goold ol' irony and made it so "LOR"!

im in the situation you wrote about and have been for so long.

"Love will carry you through any difficulties" - this was in a fortune cookie i got.... i read it then burnt it.

"Love is my ultimate weakness" - way true

everything you wrote applies to me so much...

love and empathy (For empathy can save us all)

nirvana means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world.

Love is confusing sometimes, and God is love.  lol.  But it all makes sense in the end, or at least it... nevermind.  I loved the poem.

love is neither black nor white, it just is.
i loved this poem and your point of showing both the ups and downs of love, that to have love is to have everything and nothing at the same time.

p.s this kept reminding me of Moulin Rouge just because of the song line you decided to use, which is always a good thing.

p.s x2: you are just the sweetest thing in the world, i can't believe you remember that poem, i wrote it around last year lol, but i adore you for that.
from what i've read of your work so far you're just as good if not better than myself

amazingly gorgeous !!! it sums up the two sides of the feeling we call love...the good and the bad, the ugly and the beautiful. your wordd truly capture how something that seems so great and turn incredibly sour in an instant..in just a matter of a stanza...

*speechless* dude, that was so brilliant...  soo soo soo good.

if you could improve on anything though.. ..i would suggest retitling. it gives a cheesy impression, on a brilliant, uncheesy poem.

lots of love,

Pride is holding your head up, when everyone else has their's lowered. Courage is what makes you do it.
