Emo-con

Love is not an ocean,

or a card

or a ring.

Love is not a promise,

or a guarantee.

Love is jealousy.

Love is hate.

Love is madness,

an emotion born in the brain that manifests in the heart.

Created to cleave together

beings who would otherwise be

isolated

in the solitary of their own minds.

Emotion so strong it blinds

a mother against the anguishing pain of

birth

Cripples old and young,

weak and strong alike

when it is lost.

And though it is not a possession;

it is precious, priceless, and precarious.
