Love is Death
By: Kenneth R. Cabrieto


           I believe love is evil.

           Love takes our hearts,
           And offers us hopes and dreams,
           Then it tears us apart.
           Causing Pain,
           Agony,
           Suffering,
           And death...
           Death to any new hopes,
           Death to any new dreams,
           Death to how we feel...
           About love,
           Others,
           And ourselves.

           I believe all this,
           Because I have been in love,
           And I never want to be that close to death again.
