I'm looking for love but it escapes my grasp
It seems each time I find it, it just flies right past
I search high and low, I look all around
But I always miss the place where true love is found
Every time I find it, SNAP!! It disappears
And living without love is one of my biggest fears
It alludes my soul and terminates my mind
I'll never find love, no matter how hard I try
My heart has shattered into many small pieces
And it just won't heal, no matter how much I plead it
I'll lock the door to my heart, and I'll throw away the key
Because love no longer matters, at least not to me
I was wrong, I lied, love can't be fought
It travels my mind and consumes my thoughts
I wish it would stop, and just end this pain
Because love is the hardest and most hurtful game
Now that I think about it, I've realized
That nobody could love me as I begin to cry
I rest my head and close my eyes
And I weep silently until I die

This is very sad.
The emotion was bruoght out very well. This is quite wonderful. I love the third stanza! Keep writing!
By the way, periods should probably be placed here and there! -
this poem is so so sad
What a painful ending,
"I rest my head and close my eyes
And I weep silently until I die"
Although I do know how you feel. Looking for love is a painful. I do believe though when the time is right you will find it! And sometimes we look prettiest when we cry!
