I was walking down the road of love

thats when tonight, so suddenly
the bus of pain slammed into me
the pain is not so bad you see
its the second time around for me

'Tis much safer to have never loved

then to have loved and lost
i feel as though im on the cross
Back to square one, its not my loss
cause in my life, I am the boss

I bid fare well to the road of love

off to the gutter again it seems
it is safe here, no crazy dreams
of perfect love, or perfect schemes
they dont exist for me, by any means

Alcohol, dont fail me please

Hey, I hope this isn't too serious. True love does exist, we just have to go through many mistakes first. A learning curve...
As for alcohol...don't go there, ok?
It is safer not to love but how can you ever find true love if you don't trust love...even if that love betrays your heart...there will come a time when it doesn't and you will know that you have found the real thing!

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

Love is a painful experience...whether you are in it or not. Like Lizzie said, Love is a learning curve.

True loves exists. You only have to believe it does. I used to think the same way until I met the guy I will never stop loving.
Don't give up on love after a few bad experiences for when you find the right one you will thank your lucky stars that you kept going until you found the right one.  

You have to experience the bad ones in order to appreciate the good ones.

Otherwise I loved this style of writing. Nicely expressed and well written.

Great work.

The bus of pain! ROFL Great sybolism!   I think i've been hit by that one a couple of times...ouch it hurts...  Yes, i agree with the others, a road love is, so if you get off it, you'll never reach the end, the reward.  And alcohol isn't the answer, its bad and evil...yeah...bad and evil... Plus, you should drink and drive, even on the road of love, you might get a DUI or MPI, you know get arrested by teh love police LOL!!!!

Ok, i'm done, great poem.

Great choice of words..love the style, had a good flow...
Love the sentence:
Back to square one, its not my loss
cause in my life, I am the boss

All I can say to that is Oh yeah!!!
Sorry I can't say anything encouraging 'cause I'm feeling the same way..
Unfortunately, alcohol fails all the time!

I know this feeling well. I've had my heart broken pretty badly, and I'm still trying to get over it. I admit that I sometimes feel like it's better to never love than to love and lose, but then I remember those "crazy dreams" that I had. They were wonderful, and if just the illusion of love is so wonderful, think of how wonderful true love is! That thought always gives me hope, along with my belief in soulmates. You have someone out there for you, don't stop looking out for them.

Oh, and don't get into alcohol. I know too many wonderful, talented people who destroyed their futures and bodies with that stuff.

All i can say is awesome!!  The bus of pain and I have met a couple of times, and yes, it does hurt and it takes time to recover, but you can do it.  I have and yah, it took a while but you'll do it.  Loved the poem and the flow!!!!!  Keep it up!!!!!!

I think that your work is great!  I love the way you used the bus of pain for symbolism. GREAT! Keep writing! I'm sure you'll find your true love!

You can't just give up on love because of a few mistakes. Everyone's right; your mistakes or bad experiences cannot stop you from finding your true love. These experiences will only help you later when that special someone comes along. You'll not what you like and don't like.
     This was a beautiful poem-please keep up the excellent work!

As much as I can relate and say how cynical love is, I agree with the others who have replied also. I have seen love...only to be hurt. I learned the hard way that alcohol ALWAYS fails! Love will chew you up and spit you out; if you let it. I let it and made one too many mistakes. I love the way you expressed yourself. Let love take you to a higher position than alcohol! I PROMISE one day he'll come your way--MR. PERFECT!
           Love ya! Love ~*~Jessica~*~
