Emo Poem

I love you.
Why is that
so hard to say?
It's just
three words.
Eight letters.
Three syllables.
And yet they're
the three hardest
words for a human being
to say.
These three
simple words are
more than just that.
They symbolize
a person's innermost
feelings
hopes
dreams
etc.
etc.
They stand for
a person's patient
longing.
A person's deepest
secret.
A person's most
personal
emotion.
Love.
We all know the word
but no one knows
what it means.
We carelessly
tell people
that we feel it.
That we've experienced it.
But how do you
really know?
Can you put it
into words?
I love you?
No.
It
means
nothing.
But it does.
It sounds poetic.
But it's not.
Do you love someone?
No
you
don't.
Words
mean
nothing.
Oh, you love me?
That's nice.
I'm not going
to do anything
about it.
Words
are
empty.
Words are useless.
You are useless.
Love is useless.
Something we can
live without.
Something we don't
need.
Yet something we
do.
We need it.
We want it.
We've got to have it.
Yet we don't.
You don't need love.
You don't need anything.
All you need is
you.
You're alone.
We're alone.
We're alone together.
You're alone.
When we're alone
we don't want to be.
And when we aren't
we want to be.
We want someone.
We want love.
Do you need it?
No.
Weren't you listening?
You weren't.
Shows how much
you care.
How much you
love.
Love.
There it is again.
