Love and Tragedy

Most poets would agree
True love ends in tragedy

Spilling out sonnets of sorrow
And worries of a dreaded tomorrow

I prefer the latter argument
Following my own sentiments

I believe true love never ends
It does not follow the trends

That poets have already laid
The pain and sorrow love hath made

Love doesnt hurt; it heals
Even when the hurting is all you feel

A part of your life forever changed
A piece in lifes puzzle being rearranged

Sometimes it's not meant to last
But to the memories you should hold fast

You'll look back and smile at what you see
The proof that love doesnt end in tragedy
