Love can be quite sad

Failed 1,000 times
Every life failed
love was such a short
reality

Love is sad
because love
often comes to late

Heart has been broken 
in a thousand lives
that lie neatly
next to my bedroom
window

If I had a 1,000 kissess
for the 1,000 lives
and a thousand
broken beats
from friends

I know death would
be a happy thing
and every time
I demanded your
presence

999 funerals all the same
with the intention
of this time maybe
being different

Love is, or love isn't
it's as simple as that
it's neither good nor bad
it just is...

I implore you, if you
have any love to give
then awaken it now
before it destroys
your future family

I found myself
following love
like an usher
carries his heaviest
coffin.

    Oh great excellence. I'm a sucker for love poems what can I say.
    "Love is, or love isn't
    it's as simple as that
    it's neither good nor bad
    it just is..."
    No one could have said it better... I absolutely love that verse.
    Thanks for the outstanding read fellow poet.

    This is soo sad. i'm sorry, all i can say is i hope u find love soon, bc its too hard without it.

    good luck, and i hope u get a kiss this life.

    maybe u should make the number a little bit smaller than 1000 bc its just not quite believable that u never found love or even a kiss in any of ur 1000 lives. other than that i really like it, great job.

    I think carrying and following are two different things so I wasn't sure I liked the analogy in the last stanza. But a nice write. thank you for sharing!

    spreading some love

    True-Love is Blue

    Not always fiery, passionate red. The more you love, the more open you are to suffering and pain. It's all in one package and I think you've expressed that beautifully here!
