Falling in love is the easiest part <br />Cupid says he never misses a heart <br />The intricacy is in staying in love <br />You need a lot of help from above <br /> <br />The brain says love doesn’t exist <br />It is a mere anticipation of a reward <br />When it stops and hope has ceased <br />You better be prepared and on guard <br /> <br />The unwise heart does nothing but beat <br />The smallest reward makes it go faster <br />But when the tricky brain sensed deceit <br />The poor damned heart has to suffer <br /> <br />When you can no longer recognize “love” <br />And the brain is drained and the heart is tired <br />And you are no longer getting help from above <br />Then you know the greed for love has backfired<br /><br />Kay Barcelon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-love-is-despised/
