Love Poem: They Call It Love

They Call It Love

They call it love
and I call it pain.
It’s fragile and weak 
and it breaks you like glass.
From the heart to the brain
and everything above,
it shatters everything,
and your own happiness you have to feign.
Tears leak and leak
and the mind gets weak and weak.
It’s a constant battle 
between trusting or not trusting,
between opening up or simply lying,
between crying or pretending 
that everything is perfect,
and knowing 
that love is not just a defect
of the heart and soul
and of the withered 
remains of the mind’s control.
