What is Love?

exactly what the title says, in a moment of angst!

What is Love?

Pure and innocent, magical, ecstasy?
It is the most sought after from most, including me.

It is deep and private, cannot be explained,
But to me its appeal has recently changed.

Its complex, confusing and dreadfully hard,
Never lives up to expectations, leaves deep scars.

A dozen roses, the colour is red,
But to me it's now simple, love is over, its dead.
