What’s the overuse surrounding the word LOVE?
When it’s only a bunch of emotions stuffed into four words
Care, likeness, worry, support, trust, respect
Many a letter trapped inside that single entity
And I’ve barely scratched the surface
Humans should learn to subtract their feelings from it
To say, with conviction and assurance
Exactly what they mean
Exactly what they feel
Not, I love you
How about trying, for a change
I like you
I’ve become obsessed with the sound of your voice
I trust you many a bunch than I trust myself
I would do absolutely whatsoever it is
To keep you safe with me
Did we lose ourselves in the safety of a single word?
To utter blatantly without hesitation
Covering up the other pleasantries
Words that would’ve meant more
Than a four letter syllable
Words forgotten in the new generational era
Fellow Humans
Why do we overuse the alphabet we claim overly important than our lives?
Really, what does LOVE stand for
When all we do is advertise it?

- Comment from author about the poem: I find it irritating when someone say they love me. Frankly, I don't believe them, and I probably never will. The word should take a vacation downtown so people can find alternatives for it. Maybe that way, I'll learn to accept it . . . or not. Also, I have a lot to say about it, hence the parts. You could say I have unfinished business with the word.
