Love is a word used a lot nowadays
shown off and put on display
for everyone else to see male and female
but underneath this illusion, this veil
lies something so flimsy and so frail
a human being who is truly in love
would not need to show and tell
to impress others and then some
instead he would tell how he fell
in love with a woman so beautiful and so right
and how he hopes to keep her by his side
to never falter never subside
his love undying for her alone
so love is a word not to be taken lightly nor cloned
for you and i know that love is simply something
more...
than just a word heard
