Is Love Worth It?

Is it worth—
to bare our love to another?

Sometimes, yes.
Sometimes, no.

I stand on both sides,
watching lovers in the world.
At times, I want to fall—
as deep as the sky itself,
without worry,
like a rainbow shining after rain.

But then I wonder:
Should I love at all?
And if I do,
can I ever marry the one I love?

Love feels unexplainable,
like reaching out to embrace a demon—
one with no heart.
Yet still,
some dive into that abyss,
drowning willingly.

So tell me—
is love sweet, or is it bitter?
A gift, or a wound?
Can it carry us into marriage,
and beyond,
or will it scatter like dust
in the end?
