Sometimes you must steal to live
Sometimes pain is all there is to give
But sometimes you just may find
That love is just a state of mind
I love you always and forever
But I know now we are not meant together
I laughed and cried when I read the line
That's when my brain began to unwind
I remember how things used to be
You and I and our baggies of weed
You'd call me crazy from time to time
Before love was a state of mind
We live to die and die to see
How our lives were supposed to be
I wanted to lose myself in your eyes once more
And let your lies imprint on my core
Stars are falling everyday
Millions wish it all would go away
Running out of stars and ignoring the signs
When love becomes a state of mind
I miss you and hope to have you soon
Be it morning, night, or afternoon
I'll keep my room open for you
With kisses as new as the moon
Love is an overloaded word
The truth is always slightly blurred
But you are confused lost and blind
Which is why our love was a state of mind

bravo!!!
This is a great piece! I do not believe love is a state of mind but you put your viewpoint into it and it turned out perfectly!! Great Job! -
I liked this poem, dude I'm reading a lot of poems that I like today. You did a good job on this poem.

A lot of true is here, but, all of us really need a kind of - state of mind - to survive. We need to flow between love and lust, like a clowns on the string. What will be with our next step? Sometimes we are walking on too high string, so...
Great writen, at the same time sharp and soft, sad and funny. Bravo.

Good Expression
What drew me to this piece was "Love is a State of Mind" which is something my favorite performer Steve Nicks says in her song Rhiannon. I love that line of the song...and in a way you captured it here. Your saying that it can change easily into something that isn't forever.. was my take on this. I think that might have been Stevie's take too on why she wrote that line. Love starts off like a world of it's own.. and ends like a change of mind.. I like the reminiscant quality of this write.. like a recollection of you two..nice work here.
My favorite part of your poem is:
I love you always and forever
But I know now we are not meant together
That is such a true statement. -
Good Job
Critique
Your poem is excellent. The title is catchy and you captured my attention during the whole time I was reading it. I was eager to get to the next line. There is one thing that I don't agree on and that is love to me is more than a state of mind when you are pheremoning another person. But that would have to be in another poem. You did a good job and you covered your subject completely. Your poem is upbeat and promising. The Picture you chose is also very nice. The poem reads smoothly and is interesting. -
Last line - our state of mind. Easy to read over and not see the out. Flows well and is easy to read and understand.

Not really. It always comes out weird when I do. Well I am glad you enjoyed it. It makes me feel good knowing that I wrote a semi-good poem. Well must depart. So many buds...so little time.

Wonderful
this was good love...love is just a state of mind but I never put it in those words...but I think you saying that explains it better...well wonderful poem indeed...well I'm ganna go for now but never forever...Love ya Emily -
This seems to be one of the longest peoms you have ever wrote and it might just be one of the best. ^_^ The flow was perfect. Everything was really. It amazes me how lovely all your poetry is. I wonder, though, have you ever tried your hand at writting short stories or anything of the like?
