Love is a Four Letter Word

Since I won't be here, I need to flood it up now, right?

So here it is

Love is just a four letter word
Until someone gives it purpose
Love is just a thing before
Somebody defines what it is

Love is just a four letter word
Until somebody gives it meaning
Love is really nothing more
That a complex array of feelings

And ashes put it best when she said
"Love is a mystery.

It's when you feel it in your soul,
and not your heart."

Because a heart can be broken
But a soul can only age
And while the heart can be stolen
A heart can be replaced
The soul can be left open
And sometimes get disgraced
But no matter how you hold it
A soul can't be erased

Because love, is just a four letter word
Until it seeps inside
Love is something pure
Once it's given its own life

Love is a four letter word
Nothing more
Until you give it purpose
And share

Love is a four letter word
On a page
Until there's a reason
To define it

Love is a four letter word
Simply put
Until it's given meaning
And then it has control

Love is a connection unexplained
An interaction between two things
Love, without a purpose
Is nothing but a word
It can be salvation
Or it can be a curse...

This is beautiful. Check out my poem, "what will you do with love" when you get the chance. I think you might find it interesting.

You got it ROC!

Delete Just

Yes, the soul can be left open - hooha! - Yes ~~A~~

 

Note: The title is great but diminished by "just" which has not emotional or syntaxtic value - it is like "even", so colloquial that it pulls too much attention from the true, the noteworthy, the original ideation in the poet's mind (no just anything lives there) - I'm just sayin'! ~~A~~
