A Life Without Love

A life without love can be simpler
It can be quieter
It can be peaceful
Love gets complicated
Love can hurt

A life without love can be easier
It removes heartache
It removes loneliness
Never knowing love
Can make life easier

But in a life without love
Means never knowing pure joy
Means never feeling warmth
The warmth that can make sorrow go away
All because you feel loved

A life without love can be tragic
It can be lonely
It can be sorrowful
Love heals
Love creates peace

Love makes happiness
Love fulfills dreams
A life without love
Is not a life at all
