My Name is Love

A poem about how love can feel. Posted here with permission by Dreaming Big Publications.

My Name Is Love

Hi, my name is love. How do you do?
If you don't know me, you will soon.
I will take your heart then I’ll grind -it down Soon you will regret
that I was ever around.
I will raise you up
then I'll let you down
I'll make you laugh
then I'll make you frown
You'll curse me and put me away
then you'll call me back and beg me to stay You'll ride my merry-go-round.
You'll be up in the sky
then down on the ground.
You will love the world,
be raised up to the Golden Gate.
Then all you will feel is a burning hate
Yes, my name is love,
a feeling you can't resist!
But it's not my fault because without you
I wouldn't exist.
