Love
Love. It can show
up on your doorstep,
seemingly unmistakable, but
later reveal ambiguity and
doubt. It can discover you one day,
convince you it’s pure, but leave
you in the dust the next. It can sneak
past your walls, even without your
permission, and force you to play in
its games. It can be deceiving, its face
picture perfect, though really it’s
only a clever disguise. It can be biased, not
even touch you; all because
your color, religion, or looks. It
can be greedy, use you for what you
can offer, though when your supply
dwindles, you no longer are worth
it. It can be just riches, the American
dream, they say a diamond’s
forever, so then why aren’t you with me?
It could just be a legend,
Walt Disney theme, fun to
watch, but not to believe. It can be very
demanding, “tough love”
they may call it, follow my rules or
you may regret it. It can
be hidden, disguised, sometimes
despised, demeaning
and depressing. Or It can be
true. Not one single
doubt, forever and
ever until death
shows us out.
So, have I
found true love, or has
false love
found
I?
