Worries before sleep
Obsession upon waking
Is that what love is?

Suicidal thoughts of thoughts
Headaches from wonders
Is that what love is?

Emotions so powerful they can only be expressed by physical pains
Physical pains so powerful they can only be subdued by emotions
Is that what love is?

Smiles immediately after tears
Anger immediately after joy
Is that what love?

The subject of movies, poems, and books
A taboo unknown but often heard of
Is that what love is?

If so, then the most beautiful contradiction in life is so simple it is complex.
