What is love?

 The question

is honest and sincere...

I want to know what it means

because what I feel 

about myself

is quite the opposite

and I act out...like I do

with others,

but I am simply trying to prove 

to myself

over and over again

that I can create something I cannot feel...

because I can't feel it.

I have tried.

When will this 

well of love

that everyone speaks of

quench my heart?

When will it burst from within and pour out of me

when will I stop acting?
