Analysis of If love judges
If love judges
The heart will avenge
The mind of human will be filled with stones
Only to break the pain,
Giving a 100 and receiving a 30
She decorated her name with gold
Labelled with emojis on the social life
Wanting a mutual feeling out of no pain
But reality opened the blinder on her face
Only if love was selfish
Only if love was hate
Loving her every single day,
Waking up to daily affection
Then a certain morning, she received no affection
Covered with worries
In despair, throbbing pains, bothered about what happened
She came to the realisation that all the love she received was her effort
Only if love judges
She was nothing compared to a weed
Uprooted in ripe season
But love will always love
If only love judges
She could have avenged the pain.
Oh little wonder, like a flowers drying when our of season
Love is pain.

About this poem
This poem is all about showing love to the ones you love, thereby dedicating so many things so you can love them so much but you end up realising the feeling is not mutual. You place people in your precious space and fill them with rubies and gold tags but in the end, your love was just a flowing river about to dry off.
