The Idea of Love

I'm in love with the idea of love though I feel it's not for me It's like we're stuck within a game similar to that of hide & seek We share more than a glance but eye to eye we cannot see We're on a roller-coaster riding for kicks racing to mountain peaks Soon after things decline & nosedives to a falling down When good there's nothing but smiles with beautiful rosy cheeks What follows is invisible tears accompanied by ugly frowns Don't shed any tears nor mourn the elusive love for me I found life along with love deep down within myself I love me more than another could ever truly offer This type of selfishness loves to give & is something that always helps One day I'll find something stronger but built a little softer On that day I'll offer something more than mere flowers This is something we'll always share which is something wholly ours

Really enjoyed your sonnet Jasen. The line,’ Don’t shed any tears nor mourn the elusive love for me’ is very poignant. I love the last two lines as well. A heartfelt write which is well expressed. Deep and profound thoughts. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing my friend :):)
