Love is a word so overused these days
And so under-used at the same time
Cheap its its quality
and endless in its quantity

If I knocked at your door and told you I loved you
would you take it to heart?
Or would you just leave me outside
slamming the door in my face
giving me an ache in my chest
that i cant erase.

would you be so cruel?
would my words mean so little
To you, my chosen love

because after all.
sticks and stones are hard on bones
aimed with angry art
words can sting like anything
but silence breaks the heart.

:iconthe-dying-breed:
wow thats realy great, it realy gets you thinking on when you have said i love you or when youve been told by someone that they love you. it is a beutiful insight into the heartless and heartfilled comments made everyday, by people like you and me who are looking for quick fix to a problem or expressing how they feel in the deepest sense. also on how people do not love for no reason but choose to love in a overwhelming world for to feel the connection with someone else.


lol im probably saying to much so ill stop there but this is a lovely poem and brings back some old feelings and thoughts.
