Introduction to Love
[font=Times New Roman][font=Times New Roman]I want to capture a feeling that everybody feels,
I want to express emotions that everyone deals with,
I want to set the bar just low enough that I can breeze right over it
while still bringing you to your knees when I persist
to say simple things but with so much more meaning.
Everyone has felt love.
Which means everyone has felt pain.
The two go hand in hand,
never existing without the other,
man, it's another depressing thought.
Have you ever given every ounce of your being to someone,
to have them rip your heart out, and leave you bleeding.
To watch you, and your pleading them not to go,
but long behold they walk out with someone else.
If I may be bold, I believe this is what love tends to be.
It tends to be broken, lost,
and it comes at a very high cost.
It does not come easily, and if someone better comes,
it ceases to be.
Am I capturing anything that you feel,
or any emotions that you deal with?
Because if it's just me I swear to God from the depths beneath my very broken soul,
I'll pay you money to tie the rope and hang it from a tree,
and watch as I jump from my stool still swearing to my very last breath that you are the fools.
I can't believe I fell for this,
it doesn't sound like me.
Never trusting, or hoping for the best,
I'm disgusting, every breath is a hidden wish to die,
every blink of an eye is me discussing how she chose the other guy,
and the feelings I'm feeling and being left to be dealing with
are so few and far in between that I keep thinking that I'm just another average teen,
but in reality I'm just so much more,
I'm way better than anyone else,
if being better is defined by a constant wish for death.
