….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
