The Lie Of Love Poem by Marea Johnson

The Lie Of Love

Rating: 4.2


When I was young
I used to say
That love would take
the hurt away.

But now I tell you
it's not true
If love should ever
come to you.

You'll find that it's
not what it seems
It's not at all
like in your dreams.

It gives you rain
when you want sun
When you want all
it gives you none.

When you want joy
it brings you sorrow
When you need hope
there's no tomorrow.

Oh love I don't know
what you are
I only know
you've left me scarred.

To me this poem starts off romantic. Then as you read it makes the romantic fade away. Keep it going. **James Wilhoite II**

Dear Marea Very good poem indeed. Simple and good flow to read Love makes different feeling in different people. The feel of love really comes when you lose your counter part Rgds Noor

the lies of love, can leave you scarred. but like the saying goes 'it's better to love and lost than to never have loved at all' so even if it does leave you scarred, it is much better by far. than never to feel love. you touch topics very well! a ten again.

I can relate to this also, more than I care to really admit. But since I have been here on PH and other writing sites, I have found friends, and an extended 'family'. This is such a heartbreaking and soul tearing poem Marea. It just makes me want to crawl in a corner somewhere and waste away. With my luck someone will come along and pull me up. That is a good thing. This poem speaks loudly the truth of love most ppl have to endure. Sadly. You have honestly given of your soul in your writings, and you write pain very well. Please try to write something positive, and I bet you will see a whole different light than the darkness you are in. Stay Strong Marea, because it is in your strength that you can heal. A 10+++++. Love & hugs, Barbara
