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.

So glad you enjoyed the read dear Orchi.
ouch .. I bet the rat never thought he would feature in such an awesome universal truth .. x
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.
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.-
