Poetry: Where is the love?

by Michele Langlo

Created on: September 01, 2009

I am fully convinced

That we as humans

With our faulty vision

Will never know true love

Here on this earth

True love is beyond our understanding

It is beyond our comprehension

It is too vast to conceive

So we will go about our lives

Living not a lie

But never the whole of the truth

While we make believe

We know what love is

And each time

Man fails our misguided standards

Then we are left to mourn

From betrayal and controlling devices of the heart

With verbal assault

With the words that stab the heart

And we will not expect it

Because we believe we are truly loved

But we are not

And when it happens

Our faith is shattered

And we retreat to the shadows alone...
