Reading Journal Week 28 - Heart of a Poet - 2016

I am doing a Heart of a Poet blog post.

Playing Cupid

Jenny Meyerhoff

Love

Watching people worry about love more than school.

Not knowing what love brings.

I witnessed my parents going through the same.

Why don't they realize what love does to people?

I will never make the same mistake as them. 

Observing,

Watching,

Witnessing,

helped me make my decision.
Never will I cross the other side,
but what happens if I accidently do?

The first lines are talking about how she puts people's matches together. Even though she thinks live will always bring broken heart and nothing else. How she also witnessed her parents separation. That is why she thinks love isn't worth it. Then it says how she observes how addicted the people at her school want to know who they are matched with. Even though she thinks that they won't last. Then it says she will never cross that road. She is always saying she will never get a boyfriend, she won't make her heart go through that heartbreak. At the end, it says what happens if she does. I think this because there has been someone putting things in her locker, saying how much they like her. I have a feeling of who it is and I think she will grow to like that person too. Then she will have to decide whether or not she should ignore it or give love a chance.
