How Love is Harsh

You said that Love is real
But all i see in it is a empty wheel
Turning and Emptying a void
Love is a single word that can Destroy
People around me say they are in Love
But what is Love? Is it a reasonable word
No one can find the definition of it
Not even the Heavens above

Do I have to go on a difficult journey
To find the meaning of Love
Young people are learning
The false statements of this powerful symbol
It seems so simple
But it is so hard to accomplish
This single word and the task
But why this question I ask ?
Because Love is a Destroyer
That can ruin anybody
I walk and walk till my feet are bloody
What is Love? What is Love?
You said Love is real

This poem is based on a quote that I read.

LOVE is the DIFFICULT REALIZATION that something other than oneself is REAL
