I think that I am not in love
More so with just the idea
That I am in love, with being in love.
Thoughts, emotions, feelings spew forth

Leaving me hopeless, but not forgotten.
As long as I can pen words to a page
Feelings and promises, oft broken.
In love with love, what an innane thought.

Does it leave the door open for great poetry,
Or just ideas and notions without thought?
More time spent penning contemplative verse,
Less time in living the unexamined life.
