Analysis of If you love someone
Hold strong to what you love
Because one day you might wake up
And they'd all be gone.
Is it worth it?
The pain, the sacrifices, the thorns
Is it worth it?
Every spine broken through the flesh of
tenderness
Every refulgence made lackluster
Fear of being lost, yet loosing
Is it worth it?
Anything
Love is like the sun*
Unobserved when it rises
Missed when it sets
Familiarity begets contempt.
The holy books say we were made in an
image
image of love
And I look at murderers.
Gluttons, home wreckers, defalcators,
dakoits.
I look at heartbreakers...
In whose image were they made?
I set my words on fire, the flames come out
cold
Love is insane
A war lord with no amour
A scorpion drained of poison.
If you love someone Kill them
Rip off their hearts and bury them in
yours
With yours
That way you never get to miss 'em
Miles apart, you never get to walk
alone.
Do not drink Romeo's poison
Where's the love in that?
Do not drown like Jack
Even Rose wanted him alive.
Kill them!
That way their souls will rise up to
you
What do you think of dead people?

About this poem
A love poem that goes both ways, for the lover and the loved. People take love for granted, and most of the time the only people they hurt the most are those that love them. If you love someone, overwhelm them with love, show them because you're not promised tomorrow. What do you think of dead people? God takes them for himself, because he loves them the most.
