Love Poem: Love Is a Roller Coaster

Love Is a Roller Coaster

It takes time to climb to the very top 
Then it falls straight down and you gasp for air 
Your eyes roll back and you pray it won't stop
It turns hard left mashing you in the chair

Your heart skips a beat as it turns back right
Then it starts a climb, your air's gone again
Your heart won't settle and your bladder's tight
As it turns back left and faces the wind

One minute you want to stop and just quit
Then the next minute you want more and more
You cannot tell if you are sick or  fit
The one thing for sure it's never a bore

You know when it's over and when it's not
And most of the time you hope it won't end
You learn what it's missing and what it's got
Then buy a ticket and  ride it again
