I Hate To Fall In Love Poem by Darlington Chukwunyere

I hate falling in love
For love is wicked and blind
And weird and wild
It gets me hypnotized
As though I was a sheep to be sacrificed
I hate falling in love.
 
Love is full of empty promises and euphoria
It is out of sight
Out of mind
I hate to fall in love
 
It is pain ridden
It is a sadist who laughs
When you are slapped
When you are in tears
It cheers.
I hate to fall in love
 
When you give it your heart’s brake
It gives you a heart break
It uses your enemies against you
It turns your friends against you too
It makes them worst enemies of each other
Still it teaches all to help one another.
 
It makes you someone else
And it blames you afterward
For love’s sake, some are condemned
While for its reason some receive awards
It makes one deny ones’ self.
 
It puts one in a thousand miles
Away from smiles
It turns a hero to zero
It changes “Hi” to why?
How I hate to fall in love!
