Negation also gives knowledge

I do not write about love 
I’ve never learnt what it is 
I don’t know the words 
To describe the holiest of feelings 
 
What I know is what it isn’t 
It’s not a black hole 
That doesn’t let you escape 
Crashes you when you get too close 
 
Love is not bitten lips 
When you want to ask why 
When you want to oppose 
When you keep yourself from screaming 
 
True love doesn’t teach how to 
Lie to those around you 
Cry in silence 
Keep your door open at night 
 
So, I write about tragedies 
To warn all those who will teach 
That even best intentions 
Can lead only to misery
