To Love Or Not To Love. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

To love or not to love is the question.
Is it better to not feel anything,
to hide all emotions.
Pretending we are not so close,
Like the vast oceans.

Keeping everything caged in our hearts,
being afraid, never to start.
Afraid to love because heartbreak hurts.
Done it all before, so I know how it works.

Better not to love, keep at a distance.
Even though its hard sometimes, better the resistance.
Because sometimes the love you have dies,
in more ways than one.
Better not to have the pain, just be on the run.

Yet if we never let go and deal.
We will miss out on what is real.
Better to love than not to love.
Life is too short not to show someone,
how we feel.

Verse: Sandra Kavanagh (c) .
