To Love Or Not To Love. Poem by Takunda S Chikomo

To love or not to love.

You want someone
To tell you that
Falling in love is bad
You are looking for confirmation
That love is gloomy
Hoping still
To see someone's heart
Get shuttered by love
Cos that's what you've been told.

You think that
Its all a lie
No one can ever fall in love
And be able to escape it
You think falling in love
Is falling into
Deep dark pits.

So you kick away
Every opportunity
Love throws at you
Or let alone
Anyone willing to
Let you know that
I love you.

You need love
But you don't want love


What you are looking
For you shall find
In the deep dark pits of
Solitude you shall find
Pain and agony
In a place not far from
Your own gloomy thoughts.

Look for love
Who said it was all sweet
Who said you won't cry
Love hurts
And so does solitude.
So choose
To be or not to be
To love or not to love?
That is the question.
