Love Poem: Understand

Understand

Why does love have to feel like a bullet in the head?
The feeling hits your body and leaves your soul for dead,
Most times it can feel like you’re flying above the heavens,
With nothing to stop you but the end of time,
But rarely just rarely it can feel like being in a room 
Filled with darkness till you can’t breathe, 
You can’t feel the sun on your skin but you know it shining,
How does love make someone give a life? 
Then makes someone else take it away,
Some people beg for love to go,
Others hope and pray for it to stay,
Love is so elusive yet it’s in the palm of our hands 
Just see it and feel it and soon you will be ringing wedding bells
Married to your love, your pain, your strife 
And you will be happy because you understand why.
