Love Poem: Love Used To Be....

Love Used To Be....

Love used to be a word
That I believed in,
An emotion so strong.

It used to be a feeling
That I had felt
For so long.

Love was so carefree,
Full of passion
And my only desire.

It gave me affection,
Made me alive,
Like I was on fire.

It was always something
For me to depend on,
That's what I believed.

But in one moment
It was all gone,
Nothing was as it seemed.

It was just a fantasy,
A Fairy Tale that vanished
Into thin air.

Learning now
Nothing is forever
And life is never fair.

Yes, love was something
I was very much in,
That I gave all my soul to.

But now my heart
Is broken, feeling no love,
That this word is no longer true.

But at least I can say
At one time it was
And it felt great.

To be in love, to feel loved,
Even if only once,
It was so magical to create.
