love is

Love is a lost puppy,

Digging into nothingness,

To find a bone that isn't there.

Love is a hopeless thing sometimes.

It flutters around,

A field of shattered dreams,

Looking for it's soulmate.

Love is an orange pumpkin on Halloween.

It's scooped and carved away,

Until there is nothing left,

But a faint, flickering flame.

Love is a drifting cloud,

Pierced by birds,

Letting a rain of sorrowful tears,

Spill upon the earth.

Love is a rainbow,

Spreading across the moist sky,

The tears have healed,

And it's a time of new beginnings.

I thought I was really clever when I wrote this lol...and it's not too bad I guess. I wrote it freshman year of high school.
