Love is patient
Love is kind
It's often confused
With Jealousy
Lust
and Time
Because most don't want
To work
Towards the most beautiful
And dominating thing
Though we as people
Are fond
Of claiming otherwise
Through all and any means
Novels
Screens
Photographs
Magazines
The only problem is that
Nothing so edited
So impure
Could withstand the trials
And tribulations
That come with the most pursued gift:
Love <3

The author's comments:
Love is exploited so much so that it's often confused with other emotions because of misinterpretation. This was my way of speaking for Love.

P.S. The true title of this work is
"Love" I added the <3 so that it would meet the minimum requirement of 5 characters for the title.
