Heartbreak- by me during VIT's annual cultural fest Riviera-poetry and creative writing

A complicated emotion is heartbreak,

In the pursuit of frivolous love,we suffer for its sake;

The precursor of heartbreak is love,

Which should inspire us to soar to great heights like a dove;

But sadly,we fall like a killed pigeon,

And suffer like a prisoner trapped in a dungeon;

True love,as a feeling, is misunderstood,

It brings joy and nourishes us like food;

But it is complicated by the addition of expectation from the other,

So much for the first love we suffer, that we cannot love another;

Love in every form surrounds us,it is ubiquitous,

Because on equating love and lust,we create a fuss;

Find love in all living entities,in God,in Nature,

Yet we fail to recognize true love that can nurture;

Romeo and Juliet's love was unrequited,

That means for true love, it's not necessary to be committed.

However,in a relationship,commitment needs to be abided by,

Not respecting the other leads to regrets and heartbreak;

True love,without heartbreak,is like a butterfly,

In its pursuit,we realize it is evasive and fake;

But heartbreak doesn't happen like a dangerous boulder,

When we self-introspect and be patient and dutiful,true love comes to us when the butterfly sits on our shoulder.
