Like a potent potion
Love, the drug-like emotion
Drowns you under its influence
Like an addictive substance
Creates a mood euphoric
Makes speech suddenly rhetoric
Transports you in a world of fantasy
You dive into realms of ecstasy
Even as it stealthily upturns your life
Maddening love makes you feel alive.

Alas, just as a drug wears off
Love may tread into waters rough
And send you on a downward slide
In the caverns of depression so wide
Withdrawal symptoms then appear
Euphoria is replaced by anxiety and fear
Clouds of depression come rolling in
Announcing the end with a deafening din
Acceptance of loss takes time, seems forever
Hurts even after all ties you sever
The highs and lows of love are unique
Love is the potion that all humans seek!
Passion...unbridled
