A poem of love now lost, but not regretted.
"What is This Thing that They Call Love?"

by John S. Gebbia, III

Word Count: 116


What is this thing that they call love?

What is it that we blindly seek?

A Blessing from the Lord, above?

Or just a crutch borne by the weak?



Is "love" a path we follow, all?

Or just a journey we all make?

Does "love" prepare us for a fall?

To find it's all a foul mistake?



Is "love" a road we all must follow?

To a place that no one ever finds?

Arriving feeling sad and hollow,

At a place that's only in our minds?



Is "love" a game we're forced to play,

That only fills our hearts with strife?

No, I think not, for I can say,

A life without love is not life.
