Poems by Shannon Eason

 
 
 
 
 
Love between friends is
 
So hard to live with because
 
You can't be yourself no matter
 
How hard you try so you cry yourself
 
To sleep by the pain of loving a friend.
 
Love between friends is the unwise thing
 
To do because in the end you'll break yours
 
And his heart into a million pieces and the
 
Friendship will be over within minutes.

What is love? Love is where
 
Two people fell in love with
 
Somebody that they can not
 
Live without feeling like they
 
Are dead or on another planet.
 
Love is the reason why people
 
Have broken hearts and tears in
 
Their eyes. Love is trouble to cause
 
People pain of both happy and hurt.
