About the Poem
Love is often thought of as an illusion. Many do not even believe it exists. I disagree. But I do think it is, sadly, a rarity and that many make the mistake of assuming it does not exist based on past bad experiences. I wrote this when I was 17, and I think this poem was my way of dealing with pain and the understanding that I had to look a bit harder to find what I was looking for.

| So many times has love been seen By these fragile pea-green eyes And yet not once have I since known Of a love that stayed the night The wispy smiles of a teenage face Will hide a desperate venture Allowing for a false repose And hiding human nature With saddened eyes and a vacant smile I'll bid my heart farewell And feel my carcass crumble Under blind unwanted spell I would hate to close my eyes to this To something so uncertain For pain allows a healing wind And remembrance draws no curtains |

i think that this poem just shows so much truth and honesty about love for a teen because it puts it in a way for someone to have hope in love but not be obsessed!
