Love Shack

Never have I been one to wear my emotions on my sleeve 
Longing for love but too afraid to of cupid’s arrow malady
My heart is on the market, but I’ve stowed away the key
From dusk till dawn I search for a sign that love is meant to be
But I have slowly come to realize love’s bitter sweet irony
Is that to love with all my heart, I must first start loving me

It s a really lovely poem with a nice message, yeah firstly we should learn to love ourselves only then can we love others, but love isn t always pleasant and forever, so we should learn to live alone, coz no one s gonna live with us forever and we alone will be buried in a grave, a very nice poem, good luck
