You Love Me, You Say? Poem by Anya Nikolaevna

You Love Me, You Say?

Rating: 5.0


'Love' is fake.

'Love' is just an idea
that makes people
want to seek it
to be able to feel it.

I believe that 'love'
was made up
to give people hope.
Because without hope in this world,
there is no point in living.

I have been pursuing love
and I have been living
in a fairytale world
for as long as I can remember.

'Love' taught me a lot
in the past few years.
From one boyfriend to the other,
from heartbreak to heartbreak,
it all has to stop
now.

Relationships are useless,
they waste your time,
you end up heartbroken
every single time,
and if you're lucky,
you'll get away with it once.
That would be the person
you will spend the rest of your life with.

I doubt that person will show up.

My only advice
regarding 'falling in love'
is:
do not bother.

The world is desperate for love and that tells me that love is not useless. If people fail to deliver true love, that does not make love useless, in fact it increases its value as it makes it invaluable... priceless... Keep seeking after true love Anya, but it looks like so far you are heading in the wrong direction... try developing a different strategy in seeking after your true love.

and if you're lucky, you'll get away with it once. That would be the person you will spend the rest of your life with. Experiences can be negative....... but that does not mean true love does not exist....... true love do exist........... try again. who knows u will fall again in true love and enjoy it.........thank you. God bless u. tony

I agree. Love is a delusion and a deception. The worst of it is that it's self deception. Love is nothing but desire and desire always betrays. Love is easy to avoid at my age but not so much when we are young.
