Love is Not a Toy

by Imogen   Apr 6, 2006


Love was not invented for your amusement;
You have no right to use it as a game,
Because although you may find it fun,
There are those who will hurt and maim.

You cannot play with hearts
And use love for your gain,
Because for the other one involved
Fake love means a path littered with pain.

Those three little words,
They are not to be used as a ticket to bed,
For when you say them,
You have to mean them with your heart, not your head.

Love is a feeling and a bond,
Not a calculated tool.
For those who you use
The misery is never small.

Love is not a toy.

    Excellent job. I really liked the message in this poem. It could go in the life section too. Perfect ending. Though like the other one, you can improve the flow. You've got everything else.

    I think you would do better without rhyme, because it seems really fake in this poem. Possibly you're just much better at free verse. However, you're still young. Lots of time to work on rhyme. I know, I'm working on it too. :) I realize you're not much younger than me, but when I was your age (a few years ago), I was where you are now. I didn't get very far. If you work at your poetry, you'll get a lot farther than me because you have a real talent. I know that sounds kinda stupid, but your words are powerful. Sometimes you just know when someone's meant to be great. ;)

    Okay I'll stop rambling now, but I'm waiting for more of your poetry. :)
