In this post, we are going to analyze by my own estimation, maybe the most important poem about love ever written. Yrsa Daley-Ward’s “what love isn’t.” It perfectly encapsulates the dichotomy and contrast of what love really is and not what the poets often say. Which, as it stands, is something akin to Heavenly purgatory. Humans have no choice but to think of their relationships, as they are beset by their communal needs in life. One such communal need is love, which is as ephemeral and transient as any abstract noun.
