Say I Love You at the End of the Day by Kai Livingston

Questioning Love.

Love never dies,
but
can it be wasted, and will it erode with too much frustration
or constant neglect ?

Love sympathizes,
but
could it diminish with too much lonely abandonment and
become almost inept ?

Love judges never,
but
would that be only if conscientiously nourished, and if
intentionally fed ?

Love lives forever,
but
what can we think, if, crumbling, it's debris crushes, and marks
hearts already near dead ?

Love feels alive,
but
will the start of a cold barren anarchy inhibit strong growth
so shoots are stunted ?

Love always thrives
but
if duty treads on the heels of true devotion, can hurt hide
for long behind fronts ?

Love is forgiveness,
but
if fed without care will it believe, and given another chance
can love be revived ?

Love is beginning,
but
with the right will it can be successful then despite doubts
it will progress and survive.

love , so very well interpreted , described and encased in thrilling , adorable verses ....you have proved that love is everything that we want it to be ...only if we nourish it , grow it in a manner that's conducive to its health ...then it shall blossom like a rosebud in spring and shall steal our soul away just as this beautiful poem has ....

Very much true Fay. well composed!... a lot of questions to be asked but few are answered... Real love is unconditional- To love someone unconditionally means that you love the person exactly as they are, exactly as they were before, and exactly as they will be in the future –

True love is like the Human Heart. The Human Heart, like Love has duel responsibilities....The Heart must operate as both the most Major Organ, as well as the Strongest Muscle in the Human Body....Love must operate as a Best Friend as well as a Romantic Lover.Like a nexus, these 2 nmust work together....as seperately,it can cause cardio-myopathy(Heart), or Emotional Myopathy of True Love. How's that for a breakdown...'tis your own fault Poetess Fay....work as good as yours cannot simply be signed off with insufficient analysis !!!!!lol! Excellent Work, lassie !FjR

Love is not easy joke! It has to bear quite a lot of burden, troubles and go ahead with patience almost impossible! Very many questions you have asked shows how much you have experienced in love!
