Selfish Love

evenwheniLie

         

….Selfish love is the love that most reflect, it’s the why many are lost along the way. All most lovers know is the love for self. It’s even said by love gurus anyway, love yourself before you love another or don’t forget to love yourself is on the lips of every soul today, it’s these knight in shining armor looking for love suckers causing the traffic on the highway of love everyday, they’ve been nurtured to be this way; most ideas of love is inherently wrong, we’re spoiled by those who love us from the beginning, making sure we don’t get hurt by love along the way.

    'it’s these
    knight in shining armor
    looking for love, suckers
    causing the traffic
    on the highway of love'..
    Amen!!!
    (yup, endless generations
    brainwashed
    by fairy-Tall-tales
    of damsels in distress
    and entitled, heroes
    in supposedly
    dignified, murderous plots..
    all in the name of some, warped love
    where two people
    become devoted to each other
    before
    they even know each other's
    names...
    while in reality, decades
    of marriage - later
    a single misunderstanding, can bring it all down
    crumbling, like
    those empires
    who thought, their victories
    yesterday
    entitled them to dream of power
    everlasting and righteous
    because fate granted them a little
    refrain
    from life's, endless struggles and strife..)
    so much Bull sht
    only, when
    we realise, how lucky we are
    'for every kind smile
    sweet words
    and warm touches'
    we're afforded in life, will we Truly understand
    what love's True worth, is
    till then
    'its all, games of pretend
    desperate to simply, belong'..
    (really sorry dear Poet
    I read your words and just started typing
    forgive me if I've misinterpreted your words
    or acted rudely by penning such a lengthy comment)
    thanks for sharing and inspiring
    my little scribbled, reply

      There is no need for forgiveness you are dead on and pointed out a few other things as well. I think people are selfish by nature, even when we love which isn’t real love at all, we just call it love. We are taught a selfish form from the beginning, I believe it’s learned behavior taught to us by those who love us the most. But even then it’s a understandable selfish love because our mothers and fathers don’t want to be hurt from their baby getting hurt.. it’s a viscous cycle of selfishness. Real love is vulnerable
