Love

I often ask myself what is love?
people tend to use it alot
but do they know what it means
love is a strong word, not to be thrown about but people still choose to do so
I know I love you though cause just looking in your eyes make me weak trembling at your feet
is this a way to escape this feeling? no cause when you love someone its real none of that fake ting
when you stroke my hair i feel like air and when you kiss my lips does real love exist like this?
until you break my heart and tear it all apart
then im left alone with a broken heart

Love
In February 2008 I had a poem published in The Suitcase Book of Love Poems called "Slow Fade", which I originally wrote in October 2006. I remember how difficult it was to write poems on love because I've had some really horrible experiences of love in the past.
This, however, is a real tonic! It throws wide open the whole concept of what love really means. You're absolutely right when you say that it is not to be thrown about, but a lot of the time people do and don't appreciate what they have.
You also managed to avoid the use of cliches which is really common in love poetry and it's quite difficult to do.
Excellent!
