Poem #1

[Ana Light]

Love is like a rock

It's hard

It's oddly shaped 

Hardly even fully clean 

And can inflict pain

Unto the most thick-skinned individuals 

But it's always there

In all the down low places

You don't care to look 

It's under your feet 

And in cracks in the wall 

It's a constant 

Like the wind 

It's a token of the past 

Like a memory 

It fades 

Gets lost 

Falls apart 

To bits of dust 

But it was there 

It always was

You just have to look for it

Cause it also like a cat 

It don't come when you call
