What is Love?

love is a game

that everyone plays

self-sabotage

it happens everyday

love is a toy, today

that everyone uses

some people take this toy away

use it as a pawn instead

love is nothing

that I could believe in

they don’t really love me

if they did they would treat me differently

love is something everyone longs for

Something that everyone wants to feel

Something that everyone wants to know

and share, and give, and take, with someone

love is useless

I can never feel it when I’m around them

All i feel is dictatorship and domination

love is supposed to be a shared thing

but all they do is take away everything

love is a lie

such a sweet fib

such a tempting treat

that is poison

love is not real

people cut deals

get what they want

which then reveals

that love is not something that I have ever properly felt

I cannot know her

I cannot feel her

I cannot see her

I cannot hear her

I cannot taste her

I cannot smell her

I cannot experience her

Because they are blocking me

They are making her unknown

They are cutting off my hands

They are gouging out my eyes

They are plugging my ears

They are carving out my tongue

They are blistering my nose

There is no hope for love.

She has been lost at see for many years.

Her false lies have brought many tears.

I see her with all of my peers.

But not with me.

I would rather live a life with no money, than live a life like this

I would rather live a life with no opportunities, than to live a life with no love.

I would rather die, than live where I am right now.

I would rather die, than love them the way they show me how.

I just want you.

Why can’t you want me to?
