A Tough Love Poem by Ashley Castleberry

A Tough Love

Rating: 4.5


My love for you is a tough love,
A love hard to handle.
Emotions are loose,
Running wild.
My heart is whole,
Sometimes breaking.
Smiling, the I cry
At the dropp of a dime.
Frustrations over come me,
Destroying my optimism.
It is not you
That keeps me from happiness.
Others' involvement,
Overwhelming.
Against their wishes,
Is our love.
Our seperation,
Slowly breaking me.
Our love is a tough love,
A love hard to handle.
My heart, the love...broken
Slowly leaves me choking.

You use some very powerful images, Ashley. This poem allows you to feel bad for the narrator and share her frustration at being apart from the one she loves. Nice job.
