love is not a bed of roses

because looks may be deceiving

it may look attractive and inviting

beautiful petals, bold and red

however laying upon it, you would sink into the thorns

the pain of being impulsive

the pain of taking the easy way out

love is more like a bed of needles

it may appear painful at first

being tied down, sacrificing your hobbies, time, money

but laying upon it would show stability

and the best relationships overcome their hardships

for the greater good

for each other
