What Is Love? Poem by Dinda Khairani

What is love?
I thought I knew the answer
I thought you made me know the answer
‘Cause I used to believe you
When you gladly told me
That the love of yours
Was the real piece of heaven
Would never be the beast
Which smashes the castle of purity
Immortal, more immortal than the word itself

Because you used to treat me
Like I was your only lover
You used to protect me
Like I was your only daughter
You used to love me
Like I was your only princess

What is love?
I thought I didn't know the answer
But the pain that caused by high hopes
That fell through the happiness
Arrived on the black surface of sadness
Enclosed by the stupid beautiful fake smile,
Makes me realise that I do always know

And love is,
The feeling that can make me crazy
All night long thinking about a cruel person
A person who stabbed my heart
With those beautiful soft lies
A person who told me that I was pretty
But then made me feel ugly
A person behind my deepest sadness
But still the one who wins my heart

Love isn't the cause of my loneliness
Love isn't the cause of my sorrow
But I fell in love with a wrong guy
A wrong guy who never ever knows what is love
