What Love Is Poem by nyna bankard

Express your hurt, express your pain
So long as you know, I feel the same.
You made the choice to walk away
I had no choice, I had no say.
I cried & pleaded for us to try
My love runs deep till the day I die.
I want nothing more than to be by your side
To be without you, just kills me inside.
Hoping you come through, I sit & I wait
But it's only a dream that I can't escape.
Why did you have to do me this way?
Can't fight what I feel, despite what friends say.
I know you thought I'd never shut the door
You should mean what you say, like I told you before.
We live & we learn, we rise & we fall
Acknowledge the mistakes & try to stand tall.
The definition of love was given to me
Found the answer on Mary J.'s new CD:

'Love is joy, love is pain
Love is sunshine, love is rain
An excuse for dying
A reason to live
If you don't know
that's what love is.'
