Telling.

Fay Slimm.

 

Telling.

 

He was a lover who took.

Never gave.

But he got his comeuppance

when all his conquests

melted away.

His ego now lonely droops.

Female-drained.

He waits in vain for another 

to lessen recluse.  

So telling the loveless results

when vested in self.

        Ha - -- I knew at least one like the He in my verse and they ended up so very lonely - yes I agree the truth is that love works when taking is mixed with giving.............x

        I'm a believer that it is not self-love that propels these kinds of attitudes, but rather self-hate. They grab for everything in order to become whole.
        A wonderful poem about a type of love all too often seen. - Phil A.

        • Fay Slimm.

          An interesting and empathic comment on the question of why love seems to crumble so often Phil - - -- I agree that a right love of self is certainly needed to be able to humbly give wholly to others.-
