Meg Dowell Writes

Love is a sickness

It jumbles all thoughts

It takes over the mind

It tears up the heart.

Love is a plague

It wipes out all involved

It takes out the weak

And weakens the strong.

Love is a story

It turns and it twists

It stains all that shimmers

And destroys what exists.

Love is a mountain

It so pains the sick

It blocks all the hope

It’s too hard to predict.

Love is a feeling

It happies the sad

It warms all the cold

It heals the bad.

Love is emotion

It brightens my day

It gives me great hope

It makes pain go away.

Love is ever fading

Its existence is leaving

I once held it close

But now I am grieving.

Love is no more

It disappears in the night

Your face fades away

Out of my sight.

You once were love

And now you are not

I knew what it felt like

And now I forgot.

I’m moving on

Even if I don’t want to

It’s time to live my life

It’s time to forget you.

Love is the past

Love is God.
