What Is Love? Poem by Faduma Muhammed

Whispers fading
Slowly into the dark
Feeling all alone in this world.
Leaving behind an unknown mark.

They call it love.
Stomach will be filled with butterflies
Legs all wiggly and weak
Sparks filling the skies.

They say it hurts.
Hearts left broken
Minds all confused
Words left unspoken.

They say you can tell your love anything.
From serious things to nonsense.
Always crying or laughing together.
Slowly the love becomes intense.

But what really is love?
I guess you'll never know.
Until you've feel it for the first time.
Then, thats when your mind will really blow.
