This was my first and only attempt at writing without rhyming....tell me what u think....

I don't understand love
It's confusing
What is it's purpose?
Sometimes I wonder if there really is true love
Or if we just imagine something that's not there
To fill a void
That empty feeling inside
Some people can say "I love you" to every partner they keep
But do they really love this person?
If they examined their relationship
They would probably find out it wasn't love
It was merely a word
A word they said because it sounded like the right thing to say
I really don't believe anyone knows what true love is
We just get lonely
We start to believe in something that isn't there
Sometimes I really think we have no purpose on earth
All that we do and accomplish
Doesn't account for much
No one remembers all these things when our time comes
To leave this world
Love is lost
Love is forgotten
People move on and memories become vague
They begin to forget what you look like
What you smell like
How you like your coffee in the morning
How you love to be held at night as you drift off to sleep
They find someone new and begin the process of loving all over
Still not knowing
Maybe never knowing
What love really is.

SEA....Thank you....I did rather enjoy writing it and perhaps one day in the near future.  I shall try writing another.  I have much to learn on all the different styles of poetry and the different rhyming patterns. But I enjoy writing and there will be many new things to come from me.  I look forward to seeing you around.
