Love is a blessing and a curse. <br />It can heal the wounds but it also creates them. <br />Love tears you apart but sometimes its what you need to stay together <br />I think I want to give up love but you show me another reason why I shouldn't <br />Another reason why I can't <br />And it keeps me up at night wondering whether or not I can keep on loving and caring <br />Because it seems those same feelings I was born with are the ones that will be the death of me <br />I am certain that soon six feet above me will be carved in stone; <br />'Here lies the one who loved until she couldn't anymore' <br />And I can't change that fate for loving and caring is who I am.<br /><br />Sierra Staten<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-will-be-the-death-of-me/
