As I sit on my red couch
Watching the fire
While my coffee mug
Warms my frostbitten hands
I start to think
How bothersome it is
To just
Never fall in love
I have tried many times
But always have I failed
With heartbreak
Or another girl
In that perfect man's life
I told myself
To never fall in love again
After that last time
I failed in my quest
For I have fallen in love
Again
And again
I simply cannot stop
I must end the horror,
I thought to myself
As I found myself lifting
Walking, towards the fire of agony
Never to be seen again
As I fall in head first

Kind of harsh, don't you think?

This was truly well written and full of some really awesome imagery. I enjoyed this piece. Thank you for sharing and best wishes to you. Keep that pen handy dear poet.

This is a wonderful piece! But the suicide comes through as a bit over done. This piece would be completely amazing though, if when you say "walking towards the fire." add fire 'of passion' or something synonymous with that. The metaphor would be breathtaking!

love. the most wonderful and most horrible thing in this life. i've experienced it, and i've experienced what happens when it turns one sided. oh if it wasn't so easy for others to steal hearts.
