If love was not a lie
then why these tears I cry?

If love was not a game
then why these fears and pain?

If love was meant to last
then who was I to laugh?

If love was such a blast
then who was in my stash?

If love was true and glue
then why was I so blue?

If love was bona fide
then what was left aside?

If love was here and there
then why was I to dare?

If love was in the heart
then where was I to start?

If love was cupid's arrow
then how was I to follow?

If love was deep or shallow
then how was I to sip or swallow?

If love was suicide
to hell I say
to this last line.

Strange, when I used the suicide word they took my poem off.

Eric, love is simple and pure...it is people and relationships that are complex and sometimes torture.  A life without love to share isn't living to me...
Interesting write.
