If life starts a never ending circle
how long until forever is in sight,
what distance away is everlasting
if eternity turns out to be finite.
Love is synonymous with all these terms
at the start we say when it will end,
but in between there are broken hearts
that are told only time will mend.
We spend our time living for love
maybe we should just love to live,
we have the gift of a heart full of love
which we seem so reluctant to give.
The circle just represents life
and forever is only a word,
everlasting is far beyond our thoughts
so eternity is absurd.

this is a lovely insightful poem, i love it alot, i agree with you, nobody should live to love, you should love to live, though im not always the happiest with my life, i stay hopeful, and alot of the the time love just leads to stupid suicides and depressed people, so i say we dont need it, we need food and water not love, we NEED to be independent in this world, people need to realise this but anyway end of rant ^^ this poem is very very thought provoking, and shows real inteligence, all my love, best of luck in the contest, kitty

We spend our time living for love
