My Worlds Studies Teacher Asked Us to Write for Five Minutes About Love...This Is What I Came Up With

A strong connection
An emotional infection
A confusing puzzle
An asphyxiating muzzle
A jumble of confusion

An optical illusion

A whirlwind of choices

Good or bad? Depends on the voices

An uncomfortable situation
A web of complication
Of not knowing what to say
How to act, to leave, to stay
A tornado of conflicting messages
Where both parties hold leverages
An unbearably alluring season
A game without a reason
A heart pounding race
A reprehensible disgrace
A ruse-complied plot
The lipstick on the ascot
The rose left torn and tattered
The heart that's left embittered
The eyes that hopelessly capture
The voice that forever enraptures
The indescribable feeling of pain
When longing is all that remains
The haply meeting with smiling faces
Followed by the rendezvous in secret places
The self-control one must withhold
The origami to unfold
The night ravaged with bootless cries
The sentences overthrown with sighs
The hands that ache to touch
The dreams of carefree living crushed
The desire that consumes you
The partner incapable of staying true
The attempts at communication that are futile
The words that seem unfortunately infantile
The desperation for a cure
The motives that are secretly impure
The initials branded on memories
The unavoidable catastrophes
The awkward moments you despise
The exciting glance that sends you to the skies
The fate of average love seeming inevitable
The ending relationships most probable
Interrupted by reality
The gloomy state you're in flees
You realize that yes, I'm right beside you
Things to remember, only two
The frights and thrills of love are true
And lastly, I love you.
