Alone I’ve walked, many days
questioning love, taken away
Was there ever love?
Or was I the fool?
If the lesson to be learned
is that love may not last
why would one ever
rise to such task?
How could it be love
if the question need be asked?
Or, once knowing all this
does one give, trying to selflessly pretend
that it is not the very thing for which we all live?
Heartspell 
Love is such a powerful emotion we often get confused about it.
I believe you just know it, so if you have to question it maybe it isn’t love at all
I think you are probably right….
Oh Yes I agree with you completely… and your words
‘ Was there ever love?
Or was I the fool?’
… have reverberated in my hearts many times over the year… if there is a need to ask its existence, then its not there… at all.
thanks for sharing a lovely verse…

It is very difficult to accept if you are the one feeling unloved and asking the questions.
Aahhh.. profound questions, HeartSpell.. but if love is indeed what it claims to be, then it will be unconditional.. (or so I think)… 🙂
But then again, we aren’t human if we don’t question our thoughts and experiences.. are we now?!
An excellent and thought-provoking poem, H… as ever!!
Love you loads!

without love…what are we….great os..pete
Not much, that’s for sure. Thanks, Pete.
love is always a risk…but i think it’s worth taking the risk again and again…thought provoking poem you brought to the table..
I guess we seem to keep putting our hearts out there. Thanks for reading.
Exquisitely written!
Tq, Laura.
It is a highly subjective topic- or so I feel!
Very well expressed 🙂
Hugs xx
Tq, Olivia.

Thank you, Kris….
“How could it be love / if the question need be asked?” Ouch. The final question is so revealing, exposing what it seems we spend a great portion of our lives trying to conceal. Fine poem.
That all we need is LOVE… yes we do…. Thank you, Adam.
Why do we risk…because that is the beauty of living I think…to experience to love, to loose to find to give again and again…nice question…bkm
Tq, Barbara…
oh i live for love…and though at times it burns…i still can not without it..nice questions…
I too, live for love…. Thus the questions, when it is not forthcoming….tq, Brian
An inquisitive search, thought provoking, enjoyed reading!
Tq for reading and glad you enjoyed.
Very interesting. I Enjoyed this.
If you have to question a person’s love, then maybe there is no love. Love should be simple.
Yes, it should be…..
