Hit And Run Love Poem by Margaret Alice

Hit And Run Love



Why does love hurt so much –
yet we can’t give it up - I love
people totally undeserving, I feel
sympathy for people locked up in
prison for doing deeds I would
never choose to do myself

Yet I have FELT the same FEELINGS –
the only difference is, I had a criterion
to decide between various emotions, while
they did not; early in life I decided love ‘per
se’ was dangerous - we might love somebody
who might hurt us too much

Like my dad loved my mother, yet could never
win or earn her love in return; or we might smother
someone who longed to be free – whatever we do,
we have no control over the emotions of another, we
cannot dictate what they should feel – without a small
bit of authority, I can’t play this game of

Hit and run love – it is much too painful….

In A. R. Rahman's(the famous indian music director who got two oscars this year) Academy Award winning speech he said...'Back in the old days I had situations where I had to choose between love & hatred. I chose love & I'm here.' In this case 'Love' is much more generalised than this poem...but choosing between emotions is very crucial & it decides our way ahead. Very well written a poem it is & moreover the thought behind this poem is fabulous & stunning. Great work. I really like it. Kind Regards.

Ver strong poem. Indeed there are many types as well as conitional and unconditional love. I like the way the poem examines all aspects. One thing is for absolute sure and certain, love certainly isn't fair, and doesn't conform to any rules Enjoyed 10 Steve '
